Tom Wescott

Bit of a let down after the outstanding Bank Holiday Murders. Wescott remains a refreshing voice in the field, but this feels very disjointed (the amount of recycled material from Ripper Notes and elsewhere contributing to that) and was honestly a slog to get through by the end. Poor copy-editing shows in a lot of glaring typos which become more frequent as the book progresses.

A very interesting book that give a lot of useful infos about first Whitechapel murders and Lords of Spitalfields Area. Tom Wescott, as a detective, bring the readers in the dark alleys of the Ripper crimes. Murders, false leads, corruption and prostitution. All the ingredients that make this book compelling, unique and must-read.
