I was excited to see The Five on this list as I got it for Christmas from a friend. Enjoying it so far.

Finished The Five. Excellent book.

I also read The Five by Hallie Rubenhold. It is about the five women the police determined were victims of Jack the Ripper. Their lives are explained, but also social history is explained. The police were quite happy to describe all five women as prostitutes and therefore unworthy. This was very lazy on their part, but women who were not living a traditional, married life were often considered fallen in Victorian society and equated with prostitutes. Only one of these, the last one, had actively pursued a career in the sex trade, but I have to wonder if someone she crossed didn't catch up with her and silence her. She was murdered in her home, not on the streets like the other four. Also, she was much younger than the other four. This is not explored in the book.
