Excellent on context

The book really is more about the context than the case itself, but Begg present solid research and writes very well. In terms of presenting the conditions of 1888 Whitechapel, it is probably the best book out there. For a history strictly of the JtR case, Sugden would be the way to go. However, Begg's new book, "Jack the Ripper: The Facts" (only available at amazon.co.uk now), which contains much of the research done in the past ten years, would be definitely worth getting from there. Still, this book is worth it for the Ripperologist.

Great source of information for anyone studying the relationship between Jack the Ripper and the press

This book has helped me allot in regards to a project I am working on. When one recognizes the significance between Jack the Ripper and the media, and it's part in ascending him from serial killer to Victorian icon, it is impossible to ignore this book. I highly recommend it.

Title says it all

I had to read this took for a Collage Class and have never enjoyed reading a "textbook" more.

Paul Begg is a very entertaining author and gave alot of details concerning the Jack the Ripper Murders.

At first he tells about the area of London called Whitechappel where it happened and then he talks about the Ripper Murders themselves.

Not only does he give much detail about the Ripper Murders he talks about the Police investigation about it, as well as goes into detail about some of the people that historians and investigaters have claimed were Jack the Ripper.

All in all a very comprehensive acount of the Jack the Ripper Murder case.
