This was a treat to read for someone like me who has always been into anything pertaining to Jack the Ripper.

The narration is brilliantly done and though it can be heavy on the descriptive side, it nevertheless is done is such a way that I could not help but be brought into 19th century Whitechapel.

More than once have I thought "yeah, it makes sense! I can so see it happening that way!".

Fabulous read and, in pretty much every aspects more believable than any documentaries and, for a novel, that's saying something!
