I've just finished The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, about Jack The Ripper's victims.
It's ridiculously well researched and really detailed. To be honest I didn't know much about Jack The Ripper to begin with but it's a horrible view into 1880s Britain and the situation women were forced into by domestic abuse, alcoholism, infant mortality, lack or opportunity etc.
It's not a nice read but I'd definitely recommend it.
