Title: Don't waste your time or money
Review: I am a HUGE fan of Patricia Cornwell, especially the Kay Scarpetta series. Also a big fan of any real crime writing or program, I was THRILLED to see that Cornwell was tackling Jack the Ripper (I had read a couple of things about the case before, including the hoax diary). Unfortunately, this book has done nothing but long for better Scarpetta days. The evidence she provides, while sometimes interesting, is somewhat absurd at times. There are awkward and forced connections made throughout. I had to force myself to complete the entire book. Even the writing style and organization of the book was lacking. If you are looking for a book measuring up to Cornwell's normal standards, or a great and conclusive book about Jack the Ripper, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. Keep on searching.
