Premium Review The Diary of Jack the Ripper - Shirley Harrison: Nice to meet you, my name is Jack (980 words)

Now I am intrigied by true life crime. I think it must come my ex profession in the forces. I like to read true life crime and try and understand why they did it or what makes them tick. I am not a Barbara Bradford Taylor or a Mills and Boon sort of person. I like criminiolgy more and although I will admit it, these are practically only one of a few books I will read. I do like autobiographies but I get a feel for a book and there are few books that make me want to read all night. I am useless at reading a book and I am an impatient sort of person as I normally read the back page ...

The Diary of Jack the Ripper is one of the least informative books of the many written on this subject. In my opinion it is not even well researched, if the author has carried out extensive researched then all the evidence which does not fit into their theory (and there is a lot of this) has been conveniently lost or forgoten about.

A great many ripperologist's have questioned the validity of this book, one a very good friend of mine. I was in the room when he recieved a phone call from the (then) owner of the ...

This is another book about Jack the Ripper. But it has a twist to it. A diary turns up to possibly shed light on a mystery, almost a century old, that is so hideous. One can’t help but be interested in it. It's about Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders--or more specifically a diary supposedly by Jack himself. Five dead prostitutes, an unknown madman, and now, a diary. Makes for interesting reading, right? In 1976, one man turns over a diary to a friend. This man takes it home and starts reading it with his wife. They discover the unthinkable: Jack the Ripper’s diary. This book presents the facts of the case. But it takes into ...
