The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold

dark informative sad slow-paced

4.5

Not only does this book paint a picture of Jack the Ripper’s victims, it gives the reader a very good idea of what life was like for middle and working class people in Victorian England. A fascinating and heartbreaking read.
