"Overall it was good. I wouldn’t look to it for any kind of historical accuracy for research, but if you want just a good who done it then yeah go for it. I will note however that the author does go a bit more into the gore than I’m comfortable with. I did like the characters though and would be interested in seeing what happens next at some point. Plus, Thomas Cresswell is hilarious. "

"I personally loved this book and had to finish the series. It was a great take on a mystery that still haunts England. The characters were loveable and I felt connected to them."

"Couldn’t put it down. Great mystery, with great character development. There’s so many red herrings, but you never saw the truth coming."

"3.5 stars This was a nice book! It follows the plot of the actual event of Jack the Ripper back in the 1880’s. The only difference is that in the book the killer is caught. I found some of the descriptions a bit gory at times, and the killer wasn’t a huge surprise to me although I really enjoyed the romantic relationship between Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell!! I think this is a nice historical fiction mystery, with a nice amount of romance added to it, and a fun read for many! I’ll be reading the rest of the books in the series and am excited to check out Kingdom Of The Wicked by the same author!"
