Title: choice of suspect is suspect
Review: I was really curious about this book. I have had a moderate interest in the Ripper case for a long time. I have to be honest, I was disappointed with this book. It feels to me like her choice for the killer was predisposed, and she tilted the evidence to support this.I also think that if you are going to take the time to research a subject and write a book of this size, it would be better to site the sources as you show the evidence, not just list sources at the end.I think Ms Cornwell should stick to fiction, which is what this feels like to me.If you want a better book on the subject, read From Hell. At least the authors of that don't make the claim to have the only answer, and they wrote something entertaining, not dry and boring.
