[A.J. Wares]

Interesting possibility for a Jack The Ripper killer. Good book, nice story, all fiction. I enjoyed it, reread this book a few times as it is a good book.

[Lynne Taylor]

Not too bad, but could be better. I enjoyed it, but found it a bit unbelieavable and disappointing at times. It still kept me reading, because I am a Londoner and recognised many of the places in the book. It was also intriguing, because it has a lot to do with Jack the Ripper and the author had some interesting ideas about this case, which I also find very interesting. Not sure if I would want to read another book from this author. Maybe I should, because maybe it's unfair to judge an author on one book.

[Dora Okeyo]

Started out well but slowly disappointed me.
I found it interesting that the author introduced Jack the Ripper, and was hoping for a twist of events with detectives trying to catch the assailant, but this didn't happen.
