This book never felt slow because it frequently read like a novel. I learned so much about these five women who came alive through their circumstances. They weren't the "prostitutes" everyone assumed they were and Jack the Ripper preyed on these women because they were sleeping outside due to lack of money, family and Victorian prejudices. The book also explains how the data about these women is divergent and contradictory. A very good book, which educates and entertains.
