Why read it?
1 author picked Oscar Wilde and the Return of Jack the Ripper as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a sucker for a Jack the Ripper Book. I guess that’s understandable, as I’m proud to say that my first published is about the subject.
I’ve done a fair amount of research on Jack, so I know when a fellow writer has done his. And Brandreth has surely done his. In an odd way, I also admire the convoluted plot structure and the wacky way he brings the novel to a close.
Most of all, I love the Wilde witticisms he sprinkles throughout. Talk about stealing from the best — Brandreth has that covered.
