    Barnaby! Great to see you. You know there's no party until you show up. Thanks for saying that.

      IŽll take that offer every day in the week, knowing quite well as I do that I wonŽt get a better one...

        But in all seriousness I would really like to read this long promised book, when is it likely to be available?
        The book you are looking for will likely be written by Edward Stow, my - ehrm - "master", with whom IŽve cooperated a lot, and who is the foremost expert on all matters Lechmere.
        Whether I will write a book of my own is written in the stars - as is the question whether anybody is willing to publish it.

              Yes, Abby. The Thames Torso Murders by MJ Trow. It's well written and I can definitely recommend it. A bonus is that the author actually is a proper historian, not just a pretend one! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._J._Trow

              Only disadvantage: Hand on heart, I think Debra would write an even better book.

                Yes, Trow's extensive use of the medical journals and contemporary archive documents are a credit to his academic training as a proper historian. A pretend historian might have been content simply to rely on newspapers for his information.

                • Oh yeah that dude. Forgot he did one on the torsos. He was in the worst ripper doc I've ever see. It was claiming Charles Mann was the ripper. And he had so many basic facts wrong in his torso book, not sure you could call him a historian.
                  His research was pretty lame as I recall. Not impressed with that dude at all. Pass.

                      I wouldn't put you in the same category as him Tom. And I mean that in a good way.

                              Le Grange? Is that a hybridization of Grainger and Le Grand?
