Jack the Ripper (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The author is certainly well intentioned but unfortunately has major gaps in his knowledge about the topic. Just a couple of examples: He speaks favorably of Michael Ostrog as a Ripper suspect but doesn't seem to know that he was in France at the time of the murders. He also argues that John Kelly should be considered a strong suspect without putting together that he was out of town picking hops with his lover, Catherine Eddowes, during the time when Ripper victim Annie Chapman was killled.
The author has what can only be described as a major blind spot about his expertise, claiming in the introduction that "I believe I know more about this subject than anyone alive..." Anyone with a copy of a Jack the Ripper encyclopedia or any book by Sugden, Evans, Rumbelow, Odell, or Begg should already know more about the topic than what this book would give you.
In fact, most anyone who has studied the topic for a few years could look at the cover and realize the book has major problems: two of the images that are supposed to be photos of murdered Victorian prostitutes are actually artistic representations by a modern designer and which copied from the Internet without permission.
The only reason I don't rate this as one star is that at least it's not weaving a theory out of bizarre anagrams thought up by the author, believing that a well known hoax diary is real, or trying to blame a conspiracy of royals and Freemasons.

Horrific, horrendous, unspeakable, The Whitechapel Murderer, Jack the Ripper, stalked the streets of East London in 1888, slaughtering prostitutes and bewildering the police who were hunting him.They never succeeded in apprehending him, and to this day the mystery of his identity remains an enigma.But he did leave clues to his identity, and numerous theories have been entertained throughout the one hundred and twenty years since he held London s East End in his grip of terror.This book looks at the evidence left by the murderer and the reports and investigative papers which recorded the atrocities that the ripper performed.It takes time to analyse the existing information and evaluate the letters sent to the police.It is the strongest and most powerful book ever written on the murders. It dispels a lot of myths attached to the Ripper, and eliminates a lot of the previously conjectured perpetrators, leaving only those who realistically could have been... Jack the Ripper.
