"I read it on a plane from London to New York and I laughed out loud and cried so much I think the whole of my cabin, airline staff included, thought I was losing my mind."

Battling with insomnia, and his addictions to Laudanum and the Opium dens of London, Dr Bond, (a) Police Surgeon, is assigned to help identify (the) mutilated female corpses'-inspired by true events-The Thames Torso Murders-found in the gaslit Victorian era of London.

Jack the Ripper is the accused but Dr Bond believes the eerie deaths are the works of somebody, or something else and sets out to find whoever, or whatever, it is.

Based on true events, Sarah Pinborough has added a supernatural ending.

"London. The swinging ’60s. But not for these broke actors, who have just left drama school. To break the monotony of the phone never ringing, they make the fatal error of leaving London for “a charming weekend in the country.” Gay uncles, disgruntled farmers, terrifying poachers, and lots and lots and lots of alcohol ensue. Hang on for the ride. Richard E. Grant has never been better. Paul McGann plays it straight and anchors the whole thing. The soundtrack is wonderful. Must watch with alcohol."

A thousand times better than Private London, much more well done. One of the best of the Private International branch stories, in my opinion. The appearance of Jack Morgan gives the story more layers, and helps tremendously.
