I  LOVE Thomas and Audrey Rose. I finally got to meet these two amazing characters and I am so glad I chose to read this book.

In 1880's London, Audrey Rose is a seventeen year old girl who isn't interested in the newest gossip, the latest trends in fashion or finding the perfect man for marriage. She is interested in science and she loves working on corpses and finding their true story. She meets Thomas Cresswell while she works for her uncle and they become something close to friends, if we look past their never ending teasing of each other. Thomas is a very intelligent boy, but Audrey Rose is as good as him. They play mind games together, trying to find the killer that terrorizes the town.

Audrey Rose is such an inspiring and great character. She doesn't care what other people think of her, because in those times it was very unusual and often considered “indecent” for a woman to be interested by science. But  she does not care. And she follows her dream, becoming the savior of the city, alongside Thomas Cresswell, because together they solve de mystery of the awful murders that are taking place in their town. 

I liked how the book was written, even if at some point it got really annoying for me because I figured out who the killer was and I wanted to slap both Audrey and Thomas realizing it earlier. The ending got me hooked and I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series!
