Two writers turning murder investigators …
The police asks Oscar Wild and by association Arthur Conan Doyle to assist them solving the mystery of Jack the Ripper.
Jack the Ripper killed several woman in London the late 1880 and no one knew who he was. Even years later the press was still realling about accusing the police of not doing their job. So they ask the two famous writers for their inside. As a reader we follow their investigation which is sometimes funny sometimes disturbing and curious.
I enjoyed reading the story and the revelations made. I was sometimes quite confused by the steps taken, which was probably on purpose. It was fun to see these characters and their quirks.
