A review by kirkw1972
The Gaslight Stalker by David Field
4.0
Over 100 years on the world is still fascinated by Jack The Ripper and I admit to being one of those people. I enjoy reading the different takes and possible announcements as to who he really was.
This book takes the murders themselves, includes Detectives Abberline and Reid and then creates a story around that. Young PC Jack Enright and his girlfriend Esther become embroiled in finding out who really did it.
I liked how it incorporated an earlier murder that even now we debate whether was the actual first one or not. I liked the added element of young romance around the dreary Victorian time period and grizzly murders. It's a fast paced story, it's quick and easy to read. Even the court room sections don't bog you down. I read it in just about half a day (Including being distracted by the football). The characters are really enjoyable and well written.
This is the first in the series (I think there are 2 more that follow) and I will definitely be getting those. Really enjoyed this one
