I, Ripper

I,Ripper by Stephen Hunter tries to be a fresh take on the many Jack the Ripper stories. The book is told through two perspectives, the diaries of Jeb,a reporter covering the Ripper case, and of Jack himself. Jeb does eventually discover his Ripper, but not until his mission is mostly complete.

The story was ok. I was expecting a Ripper story to have a more sinister mood but didn't feel that here. The most interesting part of the book for me was the revealing of who Jeb would become and what he did with Jack's story than the identification of this book's Jack. Unfortunately, that didn't come until late in the book.

I give this book 2.5 stars.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
