The Whitechapel Widow ~ Emma Langley Victorian #1 (by Emily Organ)

Dec 30, 2025
1 min read

I had actually read the second book in the Emma Langley Victorian series first. But I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to go back and read the first book. Plus this gave me the opportunity to get to know Emma and her new friend, Penny Green, as well as learn how Emma began solving crimes. Emma is such a relatable character ... young and naive, but intelligent. It was enjoyable watching her mature throughout the pages. The mystery is multifold and has you wondering if Emma’s fear that her husband was actually Jack the Ripper was true. A great historical suspense story with a lot of twists and turns. I cannot wait to get lost in the third book in the series, Murder in the Soho Graveyard. If you love stories that take place in Victorian-era England with a great mystery, then this series is for you!
