Title: Really a poor effort.
Review: I wondered why Cornwell included a very odd section about her frustration and depression when writing this book. After reading it, I understand -- it was probably intended as a sort of "apology" to her readers.This book desperately needed editorial intervention. It is incredibly disorganized and meandering. Cornwell starts on one area of evidence and then suddenly drops it, veering off to a new topic. Then chapters later she may raise the same item of evidence again. There are no transitions and the whole thing is confusing as heck.Her overall argument is not convincing. It is particularly hard to believe that all of the Ripper letters were written by one hand. Her analysis of artwork is just plain laughable.Don't waste your money.
