Spectacle is a YA murder mystery from debut author Jodie Lynn Zdrok in which a young reporter must use her supernatural visions to help track down a killer targeting the young women of Paris.Paris, 1887. Sixteen-year-old Nathalie Baudin writes the daily morgue column for Le Petit Journal. Her job is to summarize each day's new arrivals, a task she finds both fascinating and routine. That is, until the day she has a vision of the newest body, a young woman, being murdered--from the perspective of the murderer himself.When the body of another woman is retrieved from the Seine days later, Paris begins to buzz with rumors that this victim may not be the last. Nathalie's search for answers sends her down a long, twisty road involving her mentally ill aunt, a brilliant but deluded scientist, and eventually into the Parisian Catacombs. As the killer continues to haunt the streets of Paris, it becomes clear that Nathalie's strange new ability may make her the only one who can discover the killer's identity--and she'll have to do it before she becomes a target herself.

Oh boy yeah no. This was a big disappointment. Had such potential but the execution was...wrong. that was a hot mess unsatisfying ending that also left me with no interest in reading a sequel? I'm assuming there is a sequel coming but it isn't labeled as a series anywhere that I can find. There's no development of the science/magic and very blah characters. I just started skimming for the last 1/4

Rating: 5/5 Stars
A young adult murder mystery novel set in Paris 1800s. Nathalie is our main character who starts to have visions of how women are brutally murdered by a serial killer. Could these visions help solve the case? I loved the character development, writing style, and characters. I could not put down Spectacle. Releases on 2/12/19!

Starting my new years off right and reading this February release. Have to say im really into it. A young girl in Paris 1887 who writes anonymously for the papers morgue column who has these visions of the victims before they die. Love this interesting spin on historical fiction.

I liked this a lot. A girl in Paris in the 1880s discovers she has a special ability which may help solve a series of murders.
