dr_vee 's review for:
Stalking Jack the Ripper
by Kerri Maniscalco
A creative spin on a killing spree that gripped London in the 1880s and continued to haunt the city for over 120+ years (and counting...). Kerri managed to create a fictional context with seemingly real characters who were in close proximity to The Ripper and his crime, all the while staying true to the facts and accurately recapturing the details of the story from police reports, investigations and original records.
I did not know anything about Jack the Ripper before I read this. It was not until the Authors Note at the end of the novel that I realized how closely Kerri stayed to the true events (in terms of details, dates etc). The book is supplemented with pictures of real letters that The Ripper wrote to the media, real photos of the areas where the crimes occurred etc.
I thought I had it figured out, and I was just waiting for the story to reveal what I thought I already knew. It didn't. I did not see the ending coming, and the ending was both surprising and satisfying.
