Title: Extremely disappointing
Review: While I am not familiar with other works by Ms. Jones, it seems like she's a romance writer not familiar with the workings of a mystery or a suspence novel. And though she may have done extensive research on the Ripper killings, her characters are severely lacking in common sense. Victoria Thomas is both physically and emotionally weak, and the sex scenes are intrusive and unnecessary. FBI and Scotland Yard protocol was ignored to the point of absurdity. The "present-day" murders were described more for their shock value than literary value. Finally, the identity of the modern murderer was painfully obvious; that Victoria couldn't identify him until the last minute is insulting to both the character and the reader.This is neither the time nor place to debate whether Jones' assumption that J.K. Stephen was the 1888 Ripper is true(doubtful) but suffice to say this book is the most contrived "suspence" story I've found in an adult reading level.
