If you're intrigued by true crime and are drawn to untold stories, "The Five" is a poignant shift from the glorification of the infamous Jack the Ripper to a compassionate focus on his victims. Hallie Rubenhold delves into their backgrounds with care, humanizing these women beyond being mere footnotes in a notorious tale. It's an absorbing read that not only serves as a tribute to their forgotten lives but also as a reflection on society's long-held narratives about women and victimhood.
