Over a hundred years after the terror wrought by Jack the Ripper, his identity is still debated by many. Using witness interviews and records from the investigation, the author proposes that not only can the man be identified but that the police identified him at the time.
I enjoyed how the evidence was laid out. The author names her suspect from the start and then lays out how it is plausible for each murder. Was I convinced by the end? Not completely, but I did find it an interesting read. Though full of speculation, I liked the crime reconstructions at the end of each murder.
I would recommend this to those interested in Jack the Ripper. I received an advance copy through NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own.
