Cumberland Place
Only a few blocks from Hyde Park , a fine seven-story house of Georgian design, albeit on the wrong side of Oxford Street, which somewhat reduced the cost.
She has had to economize of the furnishings and refurbishment, but the whole thing had needed painting and hot water and electric light, the cost of which was appalling.

The novel then delves into another theory of what could have been the real story behind Jack the Ripper. Newspaper reports of the time show the headlines and the fear that had the city in its tight grip – everyone was afraid and these murders were by far the most brutal than anyone had ever seen.
The timing of the novel is ten years after the murders so this is a cold case but when it involves Winston Churchill and other leading characters from history, then it becomes interesting and conspiracy theories about. Imagine walking around the streets only ten years after the events and trying to discover what really happened.?
