Book Reviews of Jack the Ripper: The Casebook
Book Review: Fascinating, High Quality Ripperology / review by Gene Stewart
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Jones has put together a fascinating collection of pictures, information, and facsimiles. Included in this slender but beautifully published volume are reproductions of police reports and some of the more notorious Ripper letters. This is not a book for going into depth about each suspect, nor is it comprehensive in its survey of Victorian Whitechapel and the Ripper's milieu. It is, however, a lovely addition to any library of Ripperology and is sure to delight anyone interested in the armchair pursuit of Saucy Jack. The cover serves as an interesting box, with a magnetic flap that closes over what would be the open end of the book opposite the binding. The reproductions of the letters and reports, including a page from an 1888 broadside, are what make this a must-have for Ripper enthusiasts. I was very pleased with the quality of this and found the price reasonable; recommended. / Gene Stewart
Summary of Jack the Ripper: The Casebook
Investigate one of the most compelling killers of all time! Jack the Ripper: The Casebook takes readers on a tour of Victorian London?s underworld where the slayings took place, from street corner taverns to unsavory lodging houses. One by one the murder victims are revealed, the circumstances of their killings investigated, and the suspects analyzed. What amateur sleuths will find most fascinating here are the many facsimiles of contemporary documents, including letters allegedly sent by Jack the Ripper to police and elsewhere, police reports, press articles, and personal correspondence. These facsimiles provide readers with access to all the available information so they, too, can try to unravel this century-old mystery.
