[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This was a truly fascinating read! The unsolved mystery behind the Jack the Ripper murders of Whitechapel have always intrigued me and had sent me down many conspiracy rabbit holes as to whom it could be. I've heard many people mentioned including HH Holmes but I hadn't heard of Edward Buckley. Victorian era history is one of my favorite subjects to read and learn about and this hit every note for me and checked every box in my historical mental notebook.
I highly recommend this book to anyone else who is interested in the Jack the Ripper case and looking for a new mystery to unravel.

A must read if you are a fan of true crime and especially a fan of all the mystery involving what has to be one of the biggest true crime stories in the world: Jack the Ripper.
A very interesting view on the victims, possible suspects and according to the author the true identity of the ripper.

Richard Charles Cobb paints a new picture for me with ON THE TRAIL OF JACK THE RIPPER, especially regarding the canonical five women. The book has some graphic portions as you could expect, but it also explores a lot of the psychology of what we know. I love how so much of the book states things that are suppositions vs facts. There is so much we do not know, and there's a reason we do not know some of the true ins and outs. The book has a steady flow and pace... There are some interesting photos scattered throughout, most of them I had not seen before. Cobb is definitely a Jack The Ripper expert and so much can be gleaned from reading this true crime book.
