[Kathryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is an accessible easy read for entry level ripperologists. I did like the way the 2nd half analysed each of the suspects and gave them a probability rating

If you have read anything about Jack the Ripper, don't expect to find anything new in this book. It covers each of the victims and the crime scene. Little attention is given to the investigations and the author presents much more information on the usual list of suspects who have been put forward by other historians of the crimes of the elusive Jack. At some point, we need to come to the realization that we will never know the identity of Jack the Ripper, a crime figure who has fascinated the world for over 100 years.
