Have just finished reading Jack the Ripper; the Hand of a Woman by Jon Morris. Once I started reading it I literally couldn't put it down. Although skeptical at the outset - that the Whitechapel murderer of 1888 could have been the work of a woman - Morris and his father trawl through a whole series of clues, ignored by virtually all other authors of this popular genre, in reaching their incredible, but I have to say very plausible conclusion. Not for the feint hearts, the account of their joint investigation covers all five murders in medically graphic detail - but in a book about the Ripper murders, I suppose this is unavoidable. An extremely good work of non-fiction but written in the style of a thriller. I thoroughly recommend it as a very good read - and oh, by the way; i'm now convinced; Jack the Ripper was definately a woman. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

He takes one of the occasional suspects, Sir John Williams and points out that while he's not a good suspect, his wife, Mary Elizabeth Ann Williams is. That there is no reason to suspect a woman wouldn't kill and that in fact there have been a few women who have cut other women up, and that Lizzie Williams may have been distressed by her and her husband's inability to have children.
It's an interesting read, the details are not for the squeamish. ( )
