My Impression: Insomnia decided to pay me a visit last week and over the weekend and while I'm not usually a fan of this particular visitor I have to admit that I wasn't too terribly sad because it gave me time to fly through this book.
Plus, I can never resist a mystery that's connected to Jack the Ripper! Why I Picked This Book: I've really enjoyed previous books in this series and I love the author. Many secrets are swirling around Veronica and the royal family-and it's up to Veronica and Stoker to find the truth, before it's too late for all of them. Veronica and Stoker reluctantly agree to go undercover at Madame Aurore's high class brothel, where another body soon turns up. Worse yet, London is gripped by hysteria in the autumn of 1888, terrorized by what would become the most notorious and elusive serial killer in history, Jack the Ripper-and Lady Wellie suspects the prince may be responsible. Lady Wellie would like Veronica and Stoker to retrieve the jewel from the club before scandal can break.
Prince Albert Victor is a regular visitor to the most exclusive private club in London, known as the Club de l'Etoile, and the proprietess, Madame Aurore, has received an expensive gift that can be traced back to the prince.
