The Five: The Lives of Jack the Ripper's Women by Hallie Rubenhold

4.0

This was really interesting! Classified in the non fiction section, the author sets out to paint a vivid image of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper, and prove they were misidentified as all prostitutes. Drawing the picture of Victorian London, doing genealogical searches on the families, and discovering photographs and images, Rubenhold draws conclusions about the women and their situations.
