Bad Women The Blackout Ripper

Historian Hallie Rubenhold digs into the Blackout Ripper case - a serial killer operating in London during WWII blackouts. The history is genuinely dark and fascinating, told by someone who's done the archival research rather than just reading Wikipedia. Rubenhold brings the same approach she used in her acclaimed Jack the Ripper work, centering the victims' stories alongside the investigation. The wartime setting adds layers of atmosphere that make this feel different from standard true crime fare. Short series, well told. If you like history mixed with your crime, this delivers.
