Whitehall Mystery
October 1888: During the construction of the Metropolitan Police headquarters near Whitehall, which would later be known as Scotland Yard, the remains of a body were found. In September, a severed arm had already been discovered in the muddy shore of the River Thames.
There is another murderer roaming the streets of London in Whitehall, amusing himself by spreading the pieces of a poor woman around Whitehall, like some kind of macabre treasure hunt. The identity of this monster and his unfortunate victim are a mystery, the Whitehall Mystery.

A game that some of my friends really like, but not for me. An interesting concept, but in practice it takes too long and requires a bit too much rote memorization for my liking.

Letters from Whitechapel, but better. The map is slightly narrower, so it makes it harder for Jack to escape, even though he has some new actions that help him with that. Honestly, for this genre of games, I always think that the more the better. The whole part of the discussion among the players about where jack might have gone remains the best part. I don't understand how BGG advice is better in 2.
