The Five

Hallie Rubenhold

In the autumn of 1888, a serial killer murdered and mutilated five impoverished women in the dark, foggy streets of London. Before too long, he became a children’s bogeyman, a myth, a supernatural creature known only under his gruesome pseudonym: Jack the Ripper. But “The Five” by Hallie Rubenhold isn’t a book about him. It is a book about his victims. And it’s exquisite.
