The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everyone knows Jack the Ripper, but what do we know about his victims?
I thought I knew a lot about the London of this period. I guess I was wrong. Or better, I recognized many things that were written about in this book, but I never made the link to the five women that were killed by Jack! I learned much from this book, and it has changed my view of this part of history. It has become no less grim or dark, even the opposite. It has also made the victims more human.
