Title: True or not, it's a page-turner
Review: Ok, I admit I'm not totally convinced Sickert was Jack the Ripper, although Cornwell does make a very convincing case for him. What I will say is that the book is extremely interesting and I had a hard time putting it down. I think many of the poor reviews here spring from the fact that a lot of the fascination with "Jack the Ripper" is that his identity is a mystery - do we really want to know who he was? That said, what we do get with this book is a very well written account of a 19th-century man who could have been JTR. The author also does a great job of immersing the reader in the Victorian era - her research into her subject matter is suberb.
Is the review positive or negative?
