An engaging narrative of thorough historical research designed to reassert the dignity and humanity of the five women killed by Jack the Ripper.
So intriguing. So tragic. I’m forever an advocate for listening to the untold stories of silenced women.

It was harrowing hearing these women’s lives and what they suffered to only come to a very violent end. But, I have always been curious to learn more so I did “enjoy” this book.

Fascinating to read about the lives of Annie, Polly, Elizabeth, Kate and Mary Jane. Despite the subject matter, it was a very quick read and I learnt a lot about the women and Victorian London.
At times the writing felt like assumptions with lots of "would have" statements. But I am so pleased I read it and learnt a bit about the lives of women in East-End London in the late 19th century.

Now that I think about it....
Is it really surprising that it took a woman to look into these five that history has written off for over a hundred years?

This is one of those books that are hard to rate. I'm glad I read it, and the message after the facts was really important.
