What’s your favourite book?

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

Hi Christian,

If your asking what's my favourite, based on quality and accuracy or such, it Fido or Sugden. But that's a bit boring. For those personal idiosyncratic reasons, Steve Jones: London The Sinister Side. A great book all round, and my first introduction to Jack The Ripper. And Gin Alley.

Just finished re-reading the graphic novel 'From Hell' which I always enjoy. The story is completely daft but is just done so well. Moore is a brilliant writer and I just love the pictures by Eddie Campbell. It really bring the era to life and humanises some of the characters involved. The portrayal of Abberline is excellent. They is also a vast appendix with explanations for happenings on practically every page, which is also great. The film version does the book, no justice at all.

‘‘Tis a great tale Stephens book along with the video to accompany it!!

Love the video! Personally Donald Rumbelows Jack the Ripper is my favorite. Sudgen is good if not a bit dry.

The one about Aaron kosminski is the best so far about a singular suspect; Scotland Yards Prime Suspect by Robert House.

If I had to get rid of my collection and only keep one book, it would be, The Ultimate jtr sourcebook. Hands down, the only book you really need. There are some great books, but only this has the important info.

Am I cheating by choosing a fiction book? I found 'Time After Time' by Karl Alexander a fun read. Not what you meant though, I think.

Hi Abby!

I'm with you on Sugden!

Also, Rob House and Fish for the suspect books.

I'd be interested to know what you think of the Hainsworth book once you have read it.

I'm in no way anti-Druitt as a suspect, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling that book.

I know others disagree, but there are a few really silly mistakes in it as I recall, that kind of put me off.

FYI I read Euan MacPherson on Bury and as I recall quite liked it.

On suspect books...

Jack The Ripper At Last? By Helen Wojtczak is one of the best IMO. It’s on Chapman but she doesn’t perform any sleight of hand to shoehorn him into place. Hence the question mark in the title. If you want a book on Chapman I’d suggest that this is the one.

Jon Hainsworth’s two books have been mentioned which get a thumbs up from me but I’d also recommend Blood Harvest by David Anderson. Also on Druitt. Howells And Skinner’s Ripper Legacy was also very good.

Hey Michael.
I bought Helens book and got about halfway through it, it was well written & well researched, but others were saying it's really an anti-suspect book. She basically proves how he couldn't have been the Ripper, I stopped reading it, just never finished it.
Was that true?

Good choices bro!
