I love the show doctor who on BBC. To be reading a book based on a tv show is a must-have for an active reader like me. I've begun to like the sci fi genre over the pandemic. The writing and story was great and made me feel like I was in a doctor who episode.

Loved the book. Felt her pain and despair when she finally discovers the identity of Jack The Ripper. Very well written and a fun read. Currently reading Hunting Prince Dracula. So far it has been very entertaining. ~ Miriam V.
I'll have to admit that I was prompted to read this after seeing the recent Hulu dramedy on Catherine. I learned a great deal about the real Catherine and Russian history and am grateful to the author for his reputable historical details and authentications.

Jack Harker is a member of the air raid rescue squad in London during the Blitz. He and his fellow squad members put out fires from the bombs and search out the survivors afterwards. A new team member arrives, also named Jack, who has an uncanny ability to find people buried under mountains of rubble. Jack Harker suspects there is more to the story and begins asking questions with no answers. A moody, dark novella with lots of atmosphere and suspicions, Connie Willis is a master of evoking the blood and chaos of London's worst days, making one feel what it must have been like in the middle of the Blitz. ~ Mary R.
