Hallie Rubenhold, The Five: The Untold Lives Of The Women Killed By Jack The Ripper. Book Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We are all guilty of playing the game one sadistic and evil man has managed to trick us into partaking, perhaps willingly as some have searched for answers to a 19th Century riddle, maybe in naïve conversation when we have been drawn into the media spotlight which routinely returns to the streets of Whitechapel, the chilling music reaching our ears, the sensationalist need for gossip but presented as a preamble into lively, even intellectual, discussion. In the shadow of Jack the Ripper we have all at some point ventured, and by doing so, we have created a smokescreen in which entertainment and investigation have become one and the same.
