review 1: This book was on my recommended list from good reads. I was excited to read it because I like things about Jack The Ripper. I like books that have different takes and angles on the Ripper case. I really enjoyed Dust and Shadow which was also recommended by good reads.That being said,I gave three stars to be generous. I liked the idea of the story,but reading it was different. I couldn't get into the story and none of the characters appealed to me in the least. I wanted to like the book I really did,but it just didn't happen for me. I will continue to read books that are recommended for me in the future.But this book I won't recommend to anyone.
review 2: I enjoyed this book but didn't love it. The characters of Denton and his manservant were well drawn but I f... moreound the plot just a bit thin. The premise was good but could have gone a little further into some background detail which would have afforded the reader a better appreciation of the first victim's personality and her relationship with the second victim. A couple of characters were mentioned in the narrative but never introduced into the story. It may be that the author was expected to write a short book, which it is (can be read in two hours or less). It does provide a good, but cursory look at Victorian London and how the morals of the time affected how crimes committed against prostitutes were viewed. A quick read for a rainy afternoon. less
