Customer Reviews

Whitechapel Mary.
Have to agree its the best Jack the Ripper story so far,I often found myself thinking 'yes that could have been what happened'. sally worboyes has a way of making you believe in the characters in a way not many others can.If you like this you will love her others,try banished from bow to find out what happens to harriet next. I have read eight of her books so far and all are of the same standard, many characters crop up as minor parts in other books and its great to see how they all mingle into other stories and develope over the years.

Whitechapel Mary
I was persuaded to read Where Sparrows Nest by Worboyes and thought it was okay for a woman writer. Good in fact. So I tried Whitechapel Mary. Brilliant. Best who dunnit on Jack the Ripper so far. And believable. An aunt who's a midwife and her mad nephew - plus an uncle on the case at Scotland Yard. This is fact and fiction mixed and rings truer than a man wandering around Whitechapel in a black cloak and top hat ridding the world of prositutues. Check out Cutbush of Scotland Yard l888!
