Wowie! It's time for yet another giveaway. This time we are highlighting one of our most anticipated books this year--Ripper by Stefan Petrucha.
You thought you knew him. You were dead wrong.
Carver Young dreams of becoming a detective, despite growing up in an orphanage with only crime novels to encourage him. But when he is adopted by Detective Hawking of the world famous Pinkerton Agency, Carver is given not only the chance to find his biological father, he finds himself smack in the middle of a real life investigation: tracking down a vicious serial killer who has thrown New York City into utter panic. When the case begins to unfold, however, it’s worse than he could have ever imagined, and his loyalty to Mr. Hawking and the Pinkertons comes into question. As the body count rises and the investigation becomes dire, Carver must decide where his true loyalty lies.
Full of whip-smart dialogue, kid-friendly gadgets, and featuring a then New York City Police Commisioner Teddy Roosevelt, Ripper challenges everything you thought you knew about the world’s most famous serial killer.

i, too, have a strange fascination with jack the ripper and other stories like this. i really want to read this one because it sounds really creepy. :)
Not really a Jack the Ripper fan, so don't think this book is for me. Great review though, and liked that you explained the part that didn't appeal to you!
Thanks for reading!!!
Great review. I was going to read this last week but then I got sort of behind in my review books so I had to scrap it (NG books are the first to go when I need to) so I'm glad it wasn't like mind blowing. Oh well. I'll give it a try eventually.Maybe. Haha.
