I did find this book to be extremely informative and well written and also very well researched. I think if you have any sort of interest in learning about Jack the Ripper, this is definitely a book you should read. Not only will you be more informed of more of the letters, but also learn more about the media in the Victorian era and just how difficult it was for the police to actually hunt down and catch Jack the Ripper. People would be writing letters saying who they think it is because someone acted slightly suspiciously, or people would be writing fake letters to their neighbours for a laugh but these letters would be handed into the police because of the threats they contain. The whole situation was incredible and the frenzy it caused all over the world to me was shocking as I just wasn’t expecting it to be so well known worldwide before the internet and social media. This book is very interesting and I do recommend it to anyone interested in Jack the Ripper.

Dick Kirby has further enhanced his reputation with this book … (he) relies on the court and official records as well as the personal memories from retired police officers that give Dick Kirby’s books such an extra dimension of authenticity.

Andrew’s book uncovers new and compelling evidence, but still doesn’t come up with an answer that we can all agree on. However, it is a brilliant piece of detective work, and well worth reading. Read the full review [link=https://booksmonthlyreviews.wordpress.com/pen-and-sword-books-2/]here[/link]
