A great corrective to the traditional focus on the identity of Jack the Ripper himself, rather than the women who suffered at his hands. Well researched if a bit speculative in parts on the motives of its protagonists, it presents a compelling glimpse into the lives of five disparate women and the societal forces that led them to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in the dark laneways of Whitechapel.
