“Using the Wells' science fiction device of time travel, Virginia Baker creates a strong historical police procedural that is unique and entertaining. One of the most fascinating elements of this tense tale is the identity of the Ripper, which will stun readers. Great characterizations, a strong story line that merges two inquiries and a foggy Victorian atmosphere conjure up a memorable thriller.” Five stars. (Harriet Klausner, The Constant Critic, #1 Amazon reviewer)
“Baker’s debut novel has a fascinating premise that will compel readers to readily suspend their disbelief. The book’s strong characters, plausible plot and smattering of Ripper facts add much to the reading experience.” Four stars. (Romantic Times)
"A fresh time-travel spin on the legendary serial killer Jack the Ripper, taking the reader on a lurching, no holds barred journey down the dark alleys of late 19th century London. Told in a visceral, edged narrative, Jack Knife brings to life a horror that's fascinated many for years." Kevin Lucia, Book Reviewer
