Casebook Examiner Number 5 is about to burst upon the scene in less than a week and it promises to be as interesting and informative as the issues that have preceded it.
Leading off will be an article by Corey Browning that examines the Ripper’s psychological makeup and which concludes with a diagnosis of Jack’s mental disorder. Meanwhile, Ben Holme and Christer Holmgren both take a look at George Hutchinson. Ben argues that Hutchinson lied about seeing Mary Kelly the night of her murder and is a good candidate for Jack. Conversely, Christer says that Hutchinson didn’t lie and the argument he did kill Mary is all wet. Finally, you will have to read the article by Tom Wescott to learn who was the man who had five separate acquaintances named as Jack the Ripper.
The features section will begin with a full complement of reviews—books, films and television programs—that promises a plethora of points of view. The ever informative “On the Case” brings readers up to date on news in the field, while an “Extra” interview with John Bennett takes us backstage at the filming of the new Jack the Ripper: The Definitive Story documentary. Stewart Evans dispenses more advise in his regular “Collector’s Corner” column and Don Souden discusses, among others, Sax Rohmer and Adrian Conan Doyle in his “Open Book Exam” detective fiction essay. The “Library Bookshelf” focuses on the Florence Maybrick trial and “CSI:Whitechapel” takes a necessarily quick look at the Goulston Street Graffito. A new feature, “Backstory,” makes a sporting link between 1888 and today. Finally, we end as always with Rob Clack’s illuminating “Scenes of Crime” photo essay, which this time is a look at H Division police stations.
If you are not already a subscriber you should act quickly so you don’t miss this exciting issue.
