Review: Thomas successfully navigates between historical fiction and detective fiction as Barker and Llewelyn take on Jack the Ripper - The seventh Barker and Llewelyn novel has the pair temporarily working with Scotland Yard on the Ripper murders of the summer and fall of 1888. For readers familiar with the murders, Thomas' treatment of the crimes is faithfully retold and historically accurate. (In the previous novels, Thomas is similarly accurate in his historical details, one of the reasons I am such a fan.) While the investigation of the Whitechapel murders is the focus of the plot, the details of life inside Scotland Yard - office politics, the hierarchy of rank and rank and the minute of investigation - made the story believable, as were the portrayals of Detectives Abberline, Andrews and Swanson and the Vigilance Committee organizer, Lusk. As Barker, Llewelyn and the Yard dig deeper in their investigation, the usual suspects (Leather Apron, Montague Druitt, Michale Ostrog, Aaron Kosminski, John Pizer, James Sadler, Francis Tumblety) are questioned, alibis looked into, and theories are advanced - as the body count rises and residents of Whitechapel demand answers. Thomas' resolution of the murders is plausible (and fits the conclusions of several contemporary investigators); the method in which the crime is solved is a little far-fetched, but given the strength of his writing, it is easily overlooked. Writing historical fiction is a whole other animal from detective fiction, and as such is not without its pitfalls. Thomas walks the line between the two brilliantly, writing another riveting mystery. _Anatomy of Evil_ is another great addition to the series. For fans of the series, I also recommend Alex Grecian's _The Yard_ (whose stories pick up in Scotland Yard just after the Whitechapel murders.)
Review: This time trying to solve one of the greatest mysteries of Victorian England - I am only about 7 or 8 chapters in and Cyrus and Thomas are back at it again. This time trying to solve one of the greatest mysteries of Victorian England, while working alongside Scotland Yard, the hero's are embarked on what might be their most difficult case. Will Thomas has done it again with great historical detail and wonderful intrigue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barker, Llewelyn and Jack
*by B***Y on May 21, 2017*

I have loved Will Thomas' "Barker and Llewelyn" novels since the first one, but I think this one is the best. Thomas did an incredible job of research into all the various theories of the identity of Jack the Ripper as well as the reason it seems that no one was apprehended. He came up with a logical and interesting conclusion based on this research. Though there is no graphic description of violence there is some mention of the condition of the victims corpses when found, but it doesn't linger on it. Really brilliant writing and the characters are so likable,appealing and intelligent. I especially liked how they deduced that the whole "Jack the Ripper" persona was more or less made up by the press at the time to stir up the public and sell newspapers and that is why it has lingered over times, not unlike the sensationalizing of "news" today. He does an excellent job in describing the competition between various factions of the police, their failure to work together or disclose facts to each other and the subsequent delay in stopping the murders until after 5 victims had been brutally murdered. I had trouble putting this down from beginning to end and will probably read it again another time.
