"A fascinatingly imaginative look at Jack the Ripper from the perspective of the woman who, in this fictional account, took him in as her lodger. I love how psychologically complex this book is and how the author presents the reader with a strong, intricate female protagonist.
It also calls into question what lengths human beings will go to protect the status quo. Finally, I liked how it touched on the invisibility of women and the lower class. There were so many instances in which the evidence was right in front of the authorities, but they often couldn't see it because of class/gender biases."
"A very traditional soft-edge suspense novel about a couple who take in murdering lodger, based on Jack the Ripper. A little melodramatic but a quick easy read if you like old gothics."
