This is the discussion area for the Buddy Read of


Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco

We will start reading this book in February 10th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)


Description: Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have landed in America, a bold, brash land unlike the genteel streets of London they knew. But like London, the city of Chicago hides its dark secrets well. When the two attend the spectacular World's Fair, they find the once-in-a-lifetime event tainted with reports of missing people and unsolved murders.

Determined to help, Audrey Rose and Thomas begin their investigations, only to find themselves facing a serial killer unlike any they've heard of before. Identifying him is one thing, but capturing him---and getting dangerously lost in the infamous Murder Hotel he constructed as a terrifying torture device---is another.

Will Audrey Rose and Thomas see their last mystery to the end---together and in love---or will their fortunes finally run out when their most depraved adversary makes one final, devastating kill?

EARN THIS BADGE FOR READING THIS BOOK!

I so love Thomas!!!

Just started...no bodies yet! Unless you count the goat...lol.

Oh no...another Ripper!

I knew when they found the body on the ship that was killed like the other Ripper killings it wasn't going to be good.

Thomas's Dad is horrible! Love Aubrey Rose's grandmother! They need to figure out who is doing the killings!

Wow! There is a lot going on in this one! I love the spunk of Aubrey Rose's grandmother! Don't mess with her! I have finished. I loved this one! So sad to see the end of this series! (view spoiler)[So Jack the Ripper followed Aubrey to the US...Was obsessed with her. I definitely wouldn't want to catch a serial killer's eye. I thought it was interesting that the killer was Holmes. Makes me think of Sherlock Holmes. I'm happy that Thomas and Aubrey Rose have their happy ending. (hide spoiler)]

I knew something was going to happen at their wedding!

They can't get a break!

How is it going, Sheri?

Going good. Almost done. It was a busy weekend so I didn't get much reading in :)

I completely understand. I didn't get much done myself.

Finished. Her grandma is awesome! I'm glad Aubrey was able to get herself away from the killer herself. She's always been a strong female lead, and for a minute I was afraid the author was going to take that away from her by having Thomas save her.

I've enjoyed this series. I would have loved to see more!

I agree with you. I'm happy that the author maintained Aubrey's tenacity and allowed her to save herself. I so wouldn't mind some kind of spin off. I really enjoyed this series.

Congratulations Sheri! Here is your badge.

Thanks!
