3.0

This was a fast and fun read in a sensational sort of way. It was fun to have the real life details of Jack the Ripper’s crimes in the story. It’s clear Maniscalco is well-read, or at least well-watched, because there’s multiple Sherlock Holmes references, including a borrowed police dog named Toby. At times these allusions felt too much like fan-fiction to me, but for a short, simple novella-style book I didn’t mind terribly.
