This book sits beautifully at the intersection of my two passions:  epistolary novels and Victorian penny dreadfuls. I loved it! With the turn of each page I felt like I was reading these letters alongside the inspector and, in turn, our missing journalist, trying to piece together not only what happened to Miss Gibson but our suspected Mrs. Lovett as well. Often I ended up flipping back to prior letters to fact check against new information and revelations. This book was mysterious, gruesome, queer, and full of shocking twists!
