Waiting on Wednesday is a tag created by Jill @ Breaking the Spine several years ago. This fun feature allows us to showcase upcoming book releases that we’re excited to read! This week I’m sharing my excitement for the third book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper Series by Kerri Maniscalco, ESCAPING FROM HOUDINI! This series follows Audrey Rose Wadsworth, a girl in Victorian England who'd rather investigate murders and do autopsies alongside her uncle and her excruciating partner, Thomas Cresswell than act how a proper young lady of highborn British society should act. I've loved this series since the beginning, Audrey Rose is the picture of a strong female lead and Maniscalco is fantastic at world-building - you feel as if you've stepped into late nineteenth-century England and Romania - and her descriptions of medical and forensic procedure is well detailed. Unfortunately I didn't get an ARC this time so I am so, so, so excited to finally read Escaping from Houdini!!!!

Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are en route to New York to help solve another blood-soaked mystery. Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMS Etruria, they’re delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly.
But then, privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship. The strange and disturbing influence of the Moonlight Carnival pervades the decks as the murders grow ever more freakish, with nowhere to escape except the unforgiving sea. It’s up to Audrey Rose and Thomas to piece together the gruesome investigation as even more passengers die before reaching their destination. But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer’s horrifying finale?
There's an awesome preorder incentive going on now that you won't want to miss out on!
