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.
What do You think about The Ripper Affair (2014)?
Not my favourite book in the series, but still well-written and entertaining.
