    Anyone read "The Ripperologists"?

    Is it any good? Curious if I should buy it or not.
    Scarlett (2010) (Completed)

    Witness a modernized retelling of London's most gruesome mutilation, the murder of Mary Jane Kelly at the hands of the notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper.

    Would this be the John Gaspard novel?

    I am working my way through it, and although I rarely read fiction, it is actually quite good so far.

      Oh, is it really fiction? On the site it says Non-fiction.

        I think you're confusing the book with its plot, DTP. The plot description reads:
        Famous mystery novelist Barbara Thomas -- who has once again topped the best-seller lists, this time with a new, nonfiction book she claims reveals, once and for all, the true identity of Jack the Ripper -- is paired with legendary Ripperologist Henry McHugh, a renowned and beloved expert in the field.

        The book itself is described as "a contemporary thriller".

          I got the book Saturday, and didn't put it down except for when I fell asleep with it. It was absolutely excellent, and you should grab you a copy whenever you can

            I'm reading it right now!
            The first chapter is absolutely compelling and really draws a reader into it, so it is one of those books that one just cannot put down!
            I was struck with the author's original and creative sense of imagination not only with the book but also with some of the other work he has done with movies.
