About book The Ripper Affair (2014)

The Ripper Affair was good but almost too convoluted with so many plot twists that, at times, I felt more lost than Clare if he were asked how he 'felt' about Bannon. The book starts on a very tragic note, and that grim beginning overshadows the entire book. I am very unhappy that the series will not continue because there are so many unanswered questions and unresolved relationships. I will read The Ripper Affair again. I think this one was probably the least satisfactory of the series: it was slow-paced and at times repetitive, not to mention predictable in terms of who the main antagonist was. I did like the take on the Ripper murders, as well as the antagonist's plan but it could have been much more complex, I believe. The characters were, as usual, very well written though, I admit, Emma's decision near the end didn't make much sense to me and I felt it was an attempt for needless drama. In any case, it was an enjoyable book but I do think the Red Plague Affair was by far the best of the trilogy.
