Stalking Jack the Ripper is the first book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco.
The book follows Audrey Rose Wadsworth, in 1888 London. Audrey along with Thomas Cresswell twist their way through the London back world in order to discover who is harvesting and killing woman. And the shocking discovery of who is Jack the Ripper.
Audrey Rose Wadsworth is a teenager and the daughter of a wealthy lord in Whitechapel, England with her brother, Nathaniel. Audrey has a passion for forensic science and quenches her thirst for this knowledge by working alongside her uncle, Jonathan Wadsworth and performing autopsies on corpses. She acquires this knowledge through her uncle yet against society's wishes, due to the fact that they believe her gender impedes upon this work. Audrey disregards this, as shown by the opening scene in the beginning of the novel. In addition, she wishes to go to the school her uncle teaches at, the Harrow School for Boys, and dresses as a male in order to acquire this knowledge.
During one of her days slipping into school, Audrey comes across an arrogant, brilliant boy by the name of Thomas Cresswell, who works alongside her uncle just as she does. During class, Thomas displays a significant amount of knowledge and the brilliant way he applies it, which, rather than impress Audrey, annoys her, as well as makes her feel something similar to jealousy. Audrey later has her first discussion with her classmate, who clearly saw through her disguise, though she did little to hide her gender. Thomas mentions his acquaintance with Jonathan Wadsworth and how he "looks forward to testing a few theories as to why a young lady would choose to attend such a course".
