I, Ripper
I, Ripper: A Novel | Stephen Hunter
18 posts | 15 read | 26 to read
[A] dark, bloody triumph...convincingly mad, alternatively even-tempered, hallucinatory and cackling...the books characters are great, its race to capture the murder is beautifully tense, and it has one of the best twists I can remember in any recent historical thriller. The New York Times Book Review Absolutely riveting....Authentic in tone, well researched, and darkly atmospheric of Victorian London, this historical thriller combines the quiet plausibility of the psychopath in Thomas Harris Red Dragon (1981) with the menacing tone of Kenneth Camerons The Frightened Man (2009). Booklist The electrifying new thriller from New York Times bestseller Stephen Hunter takes you deep inside the mind of the most notorious serial killer of all time: Jack the Ripper.

I am a huge fan of the times and of Jack the Ripper stories. This one just didn't do it for me. 👎
The book was extremely gory which was a pleasant surprise for me but I felt like the author tried to make up for the flat parts by being overly detailed in the gore.
The characters were, dare I say, drab to say the least. Even Jack the Ripper wasn't very interesting in this book and that is sad ☹️

While it took some getting used to the author's writing style, this mystery/thriller became hard to put down. From the mythology of the Ripper murders, to figuring out who was writing the letter chapters, to the true identity of "Jeb", this book was a well thought out, researched, and executed take on the tale of Jack the Ripper.

Trying to get back into this one. For some reason, I'm finding it very difficult to get lost in this book. 🤔

Just gonna read something sweet and nice after a long night shift. Can't see how this might affect my dreams.

stargazerblue49 I am never able to read after a night shift - I just have to collapse and hope I fall asleep omg within 30min, otherwise there is no sleep to be had! 7y
AllenTStClair @stargazerblue49 I'm that weird creature that has to "wind down" first. Of course, reading this book might have the opposite effect. ? 7y

I loved it! It was an immensely engrossing psychological #horror telling of Jack the Ripper. The prose was wickedly intelligent with meticulously morbid details, scintillating suspense, and brilliantly authentic usage of #British language. It also implemented the real-life cases from the era, making it feel even more eerie & genuine. Recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
