Klappentext
The world's most famous unsolved serial killer mystery, told from the perspective of a gang of women.
'This is a wonderfully crafted book where historical fiction meets seamlessly with historical fact. The case of Jack the Ripper as you have never read it before.' Reader review ¿¿¿¿¿
London, 1888. A monster prowls the gaslit streets, and the police are looking in all the wrong places, at all the wrong suspects. But three women refuse to stay silent.
Emma, the chief detective's sharp-witted wife, sees the investigation failing. Maggie, a private investigator, exposes men's darkest secrets. Bet, a police station cleaner, overhears what others ignore.
Together, they form an alliance to hunt down the killer dubbed Jack the Ripper. But as the women weave through the slums, brothels, and smoke-filled parlours of London's underworld, they uncover corruption more sinister than they ever imagined.
The city belonged to men - until now. Readers are hooked by The Women in the Shadows :

'A wonderful romp through Jack the Ripper's London! A dark subject, but the author's light touch made it an unputdownable, easy read. I especially loved that each of the victims was given a personality and a voice, and that the women turned the tables on the Ripper through their investigations.' KATHLEEN MCGURL
