... atmospheric picture of 19th century Whitechapel, which drew me in. I could picture the maze of narrow alleyways, the alehouses, yards and doss houses. I was able to imagine the abundance of prostitutes, thieves and immigrants, the gangs bullying the prostitutes for 'protection money', the horses and carts passing by and the gin-swilling culture of poverty that prevailed. At times the book descends into particularly unpleasant, graphic detail when discussing the post mortems and autopsy reports, but this is necessary in ...more
