 This was a really fun read. 4 stars. I appreciated the historical notes she included in the back, explaining the truths we know about the Ripper and where she took liberties. It's definitely a YA novel, though it doesn't shy away from the gore, so the plot and mystery are pretty straight forward, but it was still enjoyable, especially if you like Victorian era London as a setting.
