Escaping From Houdini Audiobook – Stalking Jack the Ripper, Book 3

There’s something magical about listening to an audiobook while curled up on the couch with a steaming cup of tea, the rain tapping gently against the window. That’s exactly how I spent my evening with “Escaping From Houdini Audiobook”, and what a thrilling ride it was! Kerri Maniscalco has done it again, weaving a tale so gripping that I found myself holding my breath more times than I can count. The luxurious RMS Etruria, with its opulent setting and mysterious carnival performers, felt like a character in itself – both enchanting and sinister. Audrey Rose Wadsworth continues to be one of my favorite heroines; her sharp intellect and unyielding determination are inspiring. And Thomas Cresswell? Well, let’s just say his wit and charm had me smiling even during the darkest moments.

Nicola Barber’s narration is nothing short of spectacular. Her ability to bring each character to life with distinct voices and emotions added layers of depth to the story. The tension in her voice during the murder scenes sent chills down my spine, while her playful tone during Audrey Rose and Thomas’ banter made me laugh out loud. The sound effects were subtle but effective, enhancing the atmosphere without overpowering the narrative.

What struck me most about this installment was how seamlessly Maniscalco blends historical fiction with mystery and horror. The Moonlight Carnival added an eerie yet fascinating layer to the story, making it impossible to predict what would happen next. I also appreciated how Audrey Rose grappled with personal dilemmas alongside solving crimes – it made her feel incredibly real and relatable.

If you enjoy stories that keep you guessing until the very end, “Escaping From Houdini” is a must-listen. It’s dark, romantic, and utterly captivating. By the time I reached the final chapter, I was both satisfied by the resolution and saddened that my journey aboard the RMS Etruria had come to an end.
