The Tumblety trail through Manhattan kept us arguing for an hour over who was lying about the time of the carriage ride. If you liked the London edition, this one tightens the witness statements just enough to feel fresh.

Manhattan as a setting makes the chase feel completely different from the London case, and the similar modus operandi crimes had me second-guessing every witness statement. The way the New York police work off the alert from London keeps the whole thing tense.

The Tumblety trail finally crossing the Atlantic had me hooked from the first Manhattan lead. Witnesses pointing you toward his whereabouts make the pursuit feel genuinely tense, and the similar modus operandi detail ties the whole thing together.
