This is ideal for someone who wants a true crime insight that reads more like a novel, its engaging and compels you to read on to hear their fates, but also lets you decide the truth.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Well, I'm not, but I must admit I've always found her books such as Mrs Dalloway and To The Lighthouse very difficult (I got on better with Orlando, perhaps because of the Tilda Swinton film). Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed this summary of her life and that of the Bloomsbury set which mainly focuses on the 1920s. The group were basically a bunch of well-to-do clever dicks who spent all their time writing and publishing each other's books and poems, throwing parties for each other, painting portraits of or having affairs with each other in the years between the wars. Virginia, when not depressed, would typically write a stream of consciousness book, with the cover illustrated by her sister, the artist, Vanessa Bell, then write a letter to E.M Forster, who would be in India getting material for his next book, before rounding off her day by trying and failing to read James Joyce's Ulysses, and then renewing her affair with..

This was a truly fascinating read! The unsolved mystery behind the Jack the Ripper murders of Whitechapel have always intrigued me and had sent me down many conspiracy rabbit holes as to whom it could be. I've heard many people mentioned including HH Holmes but I hadn't heard of Edward Buckley. Victorian era history is one of my favorite subjects to read and learn about and this hit every note for me and checked every box in my historical mental notebook.
I highly recommend this book to anyone else who is interested in the Jack the Ripper case and looking for a new mystery to unravel.
