Left on Read: The Five
Added 2023-06-25 21:15:23 +0000 UTCJack the Ripper - if he even existed - killed women in the sex trade. That’s common knowledge, and also wrong. The Five is a book about one of the worlds first serial killers, understood through the perspective of those women who were murdered.

The dismissal of the Ripper reminds me of the bit in The Fall where all the male police officers are fanboying over the killer and Gillian Anderson basically says he's a pathetic loser. Which is a good bit to remember.
