Another "I know who did it But I cant prove it" book on Jack The Ripper I read the whole book from cover to cover and still haven't the faintest idea how he came to the conclusion that this D'Onston chap was the killer. The author kept referring to letters and writings by this guy but never showed them or told anything about them. 2 stars because it contained my fav. things WORDS 0 stars because well it was just a waste of paper. (poor trees)

I liked the book. It was not so much about the story of D'Onston as it was a very well written summary of the killings.

We will never be able to prove who was actually responsible, but this was a well writeen book and deserves some credit for that alone.

Not a bad book if you're into Jack the Ripper.
