After reading "Wicked" and "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister", I was disappointed with this novel. I found it somewhat confusing, and had expected a definite fairy tale connection which was never found. If it was a different kind of novel than "Wicked" or "Confessions..." that's fine, but I wish they hadn't put "Author of Wicked and Confessions..." on the front cover then, as I then expected this story to be 'the other side' of a fairy tale as those were. Yes, there are connections to Jack the Ripper and Scrooge, but not what you would think. I'm glad that some people found this book enjoyable, or at least wrote reviews that they did. I don't think I would read it again...
