Jack the Ripper: A Journal of the Whitechapel Murders 1888-1889 by Rick Geary
3.0
Of all Rick Geary's books, Lizzie Borden's tale remains my favorite. This is a detailed, chronological look at the Jack the Ripper killings and a good introduction for anyone not versed in this very cold case. For me however, it just wets my appetite to reread Patricia Cornwell's expose [b:Portrait Of A Killer: Jack The Ripper -- Case Closed|6538|Portrait Of A Killer Jack The Ripper -- Case Closed|Patricia Cornwell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1347777185s/6538.jpg|1100254].
I wish Geary had been a little more thorough in his exploration of the suspects, but what can you do when all your leads died a hundred years ago. This is one of the great mysteries that makes me wish I'll live to see the day time-travel is discovered and somebody goes back to 1888 to find out what was up in Whitechapel.
