Very frustrating to follow the narrative.

Many well done illustrations and maps which is the reason for the star. The authors included many interesting and informative sidebars, but many of them preceded the narrative so the reader would have no idea of why the sidebar was included until 2 or 3 pages later which was extremely frustrating. I had to flip back and forth to figure out what was going on. It reminded me of my college days trying to make sense out of a textbook. It appears that no one proofread the book since there were so many mistakes. The caption on page 74 states that "Ellen Holland" met Mary Ann Nichols the night she died, but the text on page 78 indicates an "Emily Holland." On page 73 the authors write that Mary Ann Nichols married her own father. I stopped reading at page 81 and will try to sell the book at a future yard sale.
