What They're Saying
Critics Review
“There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense escalations….A scenic, twisty mystery.” — Kirkus Reviews
*“A marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery…an unexpected twist makes the ending worth the wait. A must-have.”—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to flaunt society’s rules….This mystery pays homage to classics like Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein [and] will satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty heroine, and a little romance.”
—School Library Connection
“Audrey Rose is a witty, resourceful feminist who refuses to bow to Victorian-era gender norms. This dark, gothic landscape is peopled with nuanced, diverse characters who keep readers enthralled. A gripping mystery with a compelling heroine and just the right touch of romance.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Every sentence of this novel drips with decadence. The settings and Midnight Carnival performances are lush yet dangerous, beautiful yet terrifying. It was easy to understand just how Audrey Rose comes to be so enthralled with the Midnight Carnival and the performers because, as readers, we’re put under the same exact spell…. Masterfully crafted.”— Hypable
“Kerri Maniscalco once again combines adventure, romance, murder and Victorian manners into an intoxicating cocktail that brings the story of this tenacious young forensic scientist to a satisfying conclusion.”–Knoxville News Sentinel
“Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical thriller. Abundant red herrings and a dash of romance round out this gruesome but engrossing story.”
— Publisher’s Weekly
“There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense escalations….A scenic, twisty mystery.”— Kirkus Reviews
