Escaping from Houdini – Kerri Maniscalco
Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars The Stalking Jack the Ripper series is quite hard to place for me. There are so many great moments of promise within the series, but yet somehow ends up not feeling quite right to me. I did enjoy this book the most so…
