This is one of half a dozen books I bought at Waterstones, York last week in exchange for the very generous gift card my in-laws gave me for my recent decade birthday. It was a good excuse for a lovely day out in my favourite city – acquiring books was a welcome bonus!

I chose this one, which has been on my wish list for a while, because I've enjoyed several of this author's novels and am working on reading them all ....

Another brilliant novel from this favourite author, a real page-turner, one I didn't want to put down ....
It's narrated by Victorian music hall comedian Dot Allbones and set in and around the Whitechapel area of London at the time of Jack the Ripper's killing spree. A fascinating mixture of real and fictional characters advance the story at a cracking pace, holding the attention from start to finish!
Highly recommended!
Now reserved for my friend and neighbour who also appreciates Ms Graham's superb novels!

To my friend and neighbour Blower as planned. Enjoy!

Well over a million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 more than eleven million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!

Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't have to cost anything, although the site always appreciates donations towards running costs, and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!

From my friend and neighbour Nu-Knees.
I am looking forward to reading another Laurie Graham.

A good easy read showing the social history of the time. It sets the background of London at the time of the Jack the Ripper murders.
It didn't try to give any answers but showed how despite the fear, people were still fascinated by the murders.

Left on the book swop shelf in COGS

I bought this in a charity shop in Knaresborough and am looking forward to reading it as I have read others by Laurie Graham. Now I know of its Book crossing history, I will follow this when I have read it.

I really enjoyed this book as I enjoyed most Laurie Graham's historical novels.

I will leave it at Harrogate Railway Station in the waiting room as they have a shelf for books.
