Steers a fine line between recognition and exploitation

Quite an enjoyable addition to the story with the leading characters developing. As always, authors always need to take care when using real crimes and the Ripper murders are always a minefield. In the historical note the author talks about a couple of real people and how she didn’t wish to tarnish their names but she doesn’t mention the victims there. It would be easy to create ripper-like killings or change names but in a book that generally steers to the right side of tacky, it’s a shame that it’s powerful men who are protected not the women who were murdered.
