⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars
Something in the mysterious persona of Jack the Ripper intrigues most true crime lovers. This book offers a balanced, objective review of the most prominent Jack the Ripper suspects, offering arguments from both sides. What makes each a viable suspect in the infamous Whitechapel murders? What sinks the sometimes wild and bizarre theories surrounding some of these men? This book explores this in thoughtful contemplation.
Aside from a few aspects of each case I could argue and didn't fit, I enjoyed this book. That being said, opening discussion is a sign of a good book. It definitely made me think without it pointing to one suspect and trying to convince me of one or the other. I enjoyed that this is from the Whitechapel Society, so I knew a lot of time and dedication went into these theories. I checked out their website, and they seem like such an intriguing community. If only I lived in England!
There were only a few points on criminal psychology I felt were inaccurate or not thoroughly explained enough, hence the loss of a star.
