Summary
A new killer is stalking the streets of London’s East End. Though newspapers have dubbed him 'the Torso Killer’, this murderer’s work is overshadowed by the hysteria surrounding Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel crimes. The victims are women too, but their dismembered bodies, wrapped in rags and tied up with string, are pulled out of the Thames - and the heads are missing….

can't fault it - wonderful
I listened to this whilst running. I couldn't wait to go out running again to listen to what happened next! it was gripping, fascinating - I felt I read really there. I like the supernatural elements, and the fact a lot of it was based around facts and real people. can't wait to download the next bill - murder. hopefully narrated by the same man - he was brilliant.

Drag the story on far too long
Often confusing and at times when they go back and forth in time its hard to understand and it makes for a gruelling listen. the narrator was great and the only reason I kept listening. Lest anyone wonder what the book was about. a murder of supernatural nature alongside the Jack the Ripper murders. Hard to keep track of the who's and when's and no really charismatic characters- nothing deep just annoying content. Can not recommend it.

A great listen
This was the first time I've 'read' anything by Sarah Pinborough or heard Steven Crossley read and I will be looking out for both of them again - a great combination of gripping story and excellent narration.

Mayhem
Took a few turns to get into it but I finally managed. Good story though I found the supernatural bits tedious…would have preferred the book to be all Victorian murder and mystery. Will try book 2 . Well narrated.

Rambling and over long.
This book needed editing which could have made it a more succinct story and worthy of a better rating.

Not impressed
I got fed up with the backwards and forwards of the storyline and the dates. I’m afraid that I struggled to try to remember the dates and the characters

Silly/totally incomprehensible 'Monster'
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is quite enjoyable at times, however, the supernatural element is vague and just too weird to truly be a great novel. Think of a very weakly described Dr Jeckyl type, it spoils what could have been a great idea. Better than some but by no means Stoker!
Would you ever listen to anything by Sarah Pinborough again?
Listened to Murder as well. Pretty much the same. Never again, though!
