The Werewolf of Whitechapel (Miss Sharp’s Monsters) Summary
A killer stalks the grimy streets of Whitechapel—but Scotland Yard seems determined to turn a blind eye. With one look at her best friend’s corpse, Liz Sharp already knows the truth: the killer is a werewolf.
No one important will hold a werewolf accountable—after all, the monsters rule Europe. Certainly, no one will believe a werewolf victim like Liz: the very scars that make her determined to investigate Sal’s death also condemn her as the sort of female who’d sell her blood for easy money.
As it happens, Liz’s best hope for justice might well lie with her emotionally repressed employer, Princess May. Though the princess has connections with werewolf royalty, there’s no one else Liz can turn to. Certainly, she can’t risk trusting the irritatingly personable Inspector Short, who dogs her steps from the slums of Whitechapel to the palaces of St James.
But as corpses mount up, Liz discovers that no one is precisely who she thought: not Sal, not herself, and certainly not the werewolf.
Luckily, she has a few tricks hidden in the pockets of her trusty bloomers…
The first novel of Miss Sharp’s Monsters is a witty historical fantasy adventure, perfect for fans of The Parasol Protectorate or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! Pick up The Werewolf of Whitechapel and join Miss Sharp on the uncanny streets of Victorian London…

The Werewolf of Whitechapel (Miss Sharp’s Monsters) Review
4.0 out of 5 stars I like werewolves, but . . .

Someone told me the heroine of this book was clever and funny. I didn’t laugh once, nor did I feel Ms. Sharp was particularly intelligent, but perhaps as it was Victorian England, her actions were as clever as a woman’s could be and still be considered respectable.
I also felt her future marriage to Police Officer Short was being constantly pointed to …hint, hint, wink,wink. The eye rolling you observe is me when having their future romance being pointed out to me again.
When the story begins, we are informed that Ms. Sharp has terrible scars on her face because she was attacked by a werewolf at some point in the past. This soon becomes a non-item in the story until almost the end when suddenly people seem to notice her disfigurement again. I can’t decide why it was such a focus in the start of the story if it was going to be ignored for chapters and chapters.
Also, we are informed that Ms. Sharp is stronger than a human, has better hearing, keener eyesight in the dark, and an acute sense of smell. That she had been trained in martial arts, lock picking, sword fighting,revolver and rifle shooting,stabbing, strangling, bomb defusal, and lady’s maid services. Yet she keeps running into situations where she is as vulnerable as any ordinary woman who has no training or special abilities. All those skills and so few opportunities for her to shine.
That being said, the story was interesting and a rather good “who done it.” I didn’t know until it was revealed at the end who killed her best friend. I did not know why other women were killed until this, too, was revealed.
I also enjoyed another interpretation of werewolf lore. Here, werewolves can talk and hear when in wolf form. These beasts appear happy to just drink blood, rather than eating their victims. They are vulnerable to silver as is true in many fictional descriptions of lycanthropes and their ability to change into a wolf appears to be controlled by the full moon.
I think most people will enjoy the story. And I am interested in reading the second book in the series.
