Begg never falls into the hyperbolic and sensational attitude of so many other authors when faced by the convoluted and sensational facts surrounding this serial/signature killer. Begg clearly sets out the facts related to the crimes and notes evidence for and against many of the publicised theories. It is to his credit that he does not fall at the last hurdle and provide his own theory. This book is a must for any serious student of the case and for anyone interested with the general social history of this period of Victorian London. no reviews | add a review
