Dan asked Charles Finch:

I've just discovered the Charles Lenox series and have really been enjoying them. I'm currently reading A Death in the Small Hours and I felt compelled to point out an anachronism. On page 1 the year is given as 1874. Then on page 16, there is a reference to Jack the Ripper (?). However, the Jack the Ripper murders did not occur until 1888. Anyway, I'm looking forward to continuing with the series!

Charles Finch Thanks so much for reading Dan - you're absolutely right, and it's been corrected in subsequent editions. A definite mistake though.
