In this enthralling Victorian drama, a young woman tries to escape poverty in London’s East End as Jack the Ripper stalks the streets.

Ettie Wilkins must get out of Whitechapel. As her mother sinks deeper into alcoholism, the volatile lodger sharing their slum turns his attentions to Ettie.

So when debonair Professor Jacob Protsky picks Ettie out of the crowd, she is determined to seize her chance. Despite a chorus of warnings, Ettie goes to live with Protsky in Bow to assist him with his magic tricks.

But when Ettie befriends the mysterious Celia Tressing, she soon finds herself increasingly worried by events in Whitechapel. A series of gruesome murders and whispers of Jack the Ripper have shaken even that resilient community . . .

Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Kitty Neale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is there ever escape from Whitechapel?
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017
Princess Fuzzypants here:
I do like books on Jack the Ripper whether it is a straight up history or a historical novel. Almost 130 years since his horrible crimes, he is still a fascinating character. While he plays a major role in this story, he is but a part of the greater narrative.
Ettie is a Whitechapel girl who faces the same poverty, brutality, abuse and depravity of other young women. But Ettie has something special that allows her to escape. She is flung into the hypocritical world where morals are espoused while the reality is the opposite. She does not fit in either world which makes her a perfect foil through which the reader can experience the ugliness of Victorian London.
The author creates characters for whom the reader can root so when one falls into the abyss, it is all the more shocking and sad. Despite the darkness of the tale and the bleakness of the lives portrayed, there is still a touch of hope. There are also unanswered questions about the identity of Jack. Somehow they work and yet leave the reader wondering. Could it be...?
I give this the full five purrs and two paws up.

Whitechapel described in all its poverty, dirt and hard lives of constant struggle for work to put put food in the mouths of children, let alone adults.
A mysterious, sinister story running through the poverty to the upper classes with their pretense of manners and morals.
