Do you feel a basic knowledge of the Ripper crimes is necessary to get the most out of this book? Why or why not?

Did this book change your perspective on the crimes of Jack the Ripper? If so, how?



Liesl (jcpdiesel21) | 11 comments While I thought the book was interesting and engaging, it definitely would have helped if I had known more about the Ripper crimes before starting, at least a little. Upon finishing, I would like to read or watch other material devoted to these particular crimes to learn more.

Liesl, I had a bit of knowledge, so my experience was a little different in that it was refreshing to get this new perspective on the whole thing.

Here's a Goodreads list of other books about Jack the Ripper that might be fun to explore now that you've read this one!


Liesl (jcpdiesel21) | 11 comments Ooh, thanks for the starting point! There are quite a few to choose from.
