Murder at Whitechapel Road Station

London Underground Station Mysteries, Book 4

By: Jim Eldridge

Narrated by: David Thorpe

April, 1941. Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called to the former Whitechapel Road tube station when the body of a woman is discovered. Her body was found in an isolated part of the subterranean area away from the platforms currently being used as air raid shelters. She had been strangled and her body eviscerated.

When Coburg and Lampson examine the scene, they find an old Victorian doctor's case containing surgical tools. Has it been deliberately left to be discovered? Forensic examination dates the case and contents as being from the late nineteenth century. Could this be another of Jack the Ripper's victims? Coburg and Lampson have a very puzzling case to solve.

Brilliant!

Plot well woven and narrative brilliantly written and read. A fantastic combination of well-developed characters, historical intrigue and socio-political dynamics. …listened straight through!

Gory and boring

I was looking forward to a new Edgar and Rosa book, but not this one. A family member felt the same. It was gory and boring. Also, the storyline was familiar. Is there a similar storyline in one of the Daniel and Abigail books? I seem to remember something about one of the Jack the Ripper victims having a son who started killing. I could be wrong. I love Jim Eldridge’s books. Although this one was a complete miss for me, I’m looking forward to the next one.
