We have chosen for this month:
# The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper Hardcover by Hallie Rubenhold
# All murdered in 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.
