The Buffalo Butcher: Jack the Ripper in the Electric City by Robert Brighton

The Buffalo Butcher: Jack the Ripper in the Electric City by Robert Brighton

Summer 1901. Buffalo, New York. Eight million visitors pouring into the Pan-American Exposition while a killer works his way through the women no one will miss. The Buffalo Butcher has everything a great historical thriller needs: vivid setting, escalating stakes, genuine menace.

Brighton’s smartest move is making the protagonists the working girls themselves rather than a hero cop. Five women who have no official standing, no protection, and no choice but to act — they’re hunting someone who’s hunting them, with no margin for error.

The pacing is relentless. The historical detail is thick but never slows things down. One of the better historical thrillers I’ve read this year.
