I thought this was a very interesting read, with a lot of information about both the assassination & the Ripper murders that I had not read before. Tumblety has always been a peripheral suspect - mentioned but usually quickly discounted, 3mo
My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Cameron Publishing & Marketing Ltd, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
