Jack The Ripper: The Complete Casebook

By Donald Rumbelow
Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: Little Brown & Co (T); (September 1, 1975)
ASIN: 0821206613

Jack the Ripper. This name has instilled fear and foreboding in the hearts of many. He was a man who hated women. At his prime the whole of WhiteChapel, East London knew fear through his crimes. Especially terrorized were the prostitutes of nearly 100 years ago. He murdered and mutilated Elizabeth Stride, Annie Chapman, Mary Kelly and Catherine Eddows. It is also believed that Emma Smith was the very first victim of the notorious Jack the Ripper.

This book is a classic book written about the case files of Jack The Ripper. Donald Rumbelow follows the case from start to finish with an eloquent writing style that is neither dry nor dreary. He explains his own theories as to who he believes was The Ripper. He also follows Scotland Yards' own Ripper theories. Some of the photos in the book are quite gruesome and detailed, from pictures of the victims to the places where they were found. He also talks about Inspector Abberline and his involvement in the case. I love this book for it's almost news / editorial feel as it follows The Ripper case from chapter to chapter, victim to victim. Although this book was written nearly a quarter century ago, I found it more relevant than some of the newer works that have been published on the crimes. It is very well written with some interesting theories as to who and how Jack the Ripper still instills terror yet today.
