Jack and the Thames Torso Murders: A New Ripper? by Drew Gray and Andrew Wise

[Sam Flynn]

On a quick skim through, I went from Chapter 1 with its last paragraphs discussing the labyrinth around Dorset and Thrawl St, to "Chapter 2: Dreadful Discovery at Rainham"... that being Rainham, Essex, of course. The geographical lurch I felt in merely moving from one page to the next vividly illustrated the problem I have with the idea of a single Torso Murderer, never mind a single "Torsoripper".

I saw many good things in the book, which should be an interesting read, my caveats and cavils about the "Torsoripper" notwithstanding.

The book is due on 15th June 2019, and I'm sure will be on the reading list of many people on these boards.

It is encouraging that in the Acknowledgements, the authors reference many experts in the field.
