Title: Not very good
Review: Ms Cornwell's novels are interesting if you have an interest in forensic science and detective novels. They appear to be well researched and flow smoothly which brings about a pleasent read. After reading Portrait of a Killer though, it is my conclusion that Ms Cornwell should stick to fiction. I have no doubt that she investigated the case thuroughly, but her narrative is confusing and unorganized; I can't believe an editor let this fly. I think that a plausable case against Mr Sickert could be made with the "evedence" that Ms Cornwell presents but it is doubtful that she would be able to convince a jury simply because everything seems to be out of order.Ripper buffs may get a kick out of her take on the facts.
