Well written, realistic penny dreadful

The author has done quite a spectacular job of researching this piece of historical fiction, bringing to life a gruesome episode in 1800s Scotland. Expect to read a documentary type book and not a particularly suspenseful thriller. It took a long time to get into this book, mostly because the performance was quite dry and dull, hence I struggled to concentrate. During the crux of the story, in which Roddy is in court, the story picks up slightly, sounding more like a courtroom drama. He attempts to explore the idea of moral insanity, but falls short mostly because of the lack of understanding they would have at the time the book is set.

Well written and researched but a bit bland.

Logical upgrade on Scotland Yard- having a map the criminal can look at, rather than getting caught out looking at the shared map to determine where to go next and giving away their position. (0 more)

Would be good to have more counters of varying colours - to help the police in their investigations... Or alternatively printed maps that they can write on to help them remember what they've asked. (0 more)

Whitechapel

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Hidden movement games are a particular type of game that really stand alone.

So many options for how to strategise as Jack, that this game has comes down to the smallest of clues until the end.

Very challenging as Jack, but highly enjoyable on both sides of the law.
