Quotes
“Combines two perceptive points of view with a convincing portrait of London’s seamier side and a neat twist of an ending.” Kirkus Reviews
“There is no shortage of novels based on Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders, but Harris manages to find different angles to explore via two narrators…The combination and successful use of two readers, Fiona Hardingham and Gemma Dawson, gives the audiobook a resonance…Highly recommended as a strong choice for mystery and historical fiction audiences.” Library Journal (audio review)
“The audio edition usefully employs two actors: reader Dawson provides Miss Tindall’s schoolmistress elocution…and reader Hardingham captures Constance’s myriad moods…and her fierce determination to find her mentor. The actors smoothly and efficiently trade off on the rest of Harris’ characters.” Publishers Weekly (audio review)
“Harris has again produced a highly imaginative and entertaining book, brimming with atmosphere and suspense…[which] exemplifies Harris’ ability as a storyteller and demonstrates her outstanding knowledge of London’s history.” David Bullock, author of The Man Who Would Be Jack
“Tense and claustrophobic…Eerie and intruging.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
