"Stalking Jack" is a work of marvelous historical fiction on Madison Kent's part. The story of Jack the Ripper has always fascinated me---it still remains a mystery who he was and why he suddenly stopped killing. The author takes this piece of history and weaves her own story, including her own twists of what became of Jack the Ripper.Madeline Donovan is a woman consumed by her past so she escapes to London on the upcoming anniversary of her family's death. She embarks on a dangerous journey to discover Jack the Ripper's identity. During her trip, Madeline meets some new friends, but also struggles with her inner demons. Not only is this book a story about self-discovery and redemption, it gives us a glimpse of the dark depths of the human soul. A suspenseful and thrilling book, "Stalking Jack" is well-written, and includes flawed, but interesting characters. A good read that comes highly recommended.
