Özet

This audiobook focuses on the countless theories that have been put forward with regard to the identity of the notorious Victorian serial killer and offers an extensive section presenting all the known facts in the case. It includes 30 essays by the most famous, often controversial Ripperologists putting forward their own theories.

It remains one of the few audiobooks to offer a series of alternative solutions to Jack the Ripper's identity and the truth behind the Whitechapel murders. But how many new theories and identities can researchers come up with?

This is truly a mammoth book, very interesting and well compiled. In audiobook form, it is sometimes a bit difficult to keep up with all the information but you can always go back a few seconds and listen again. There is only one thing that I didn't like: one of the last essays contains a frankly useless remark that the Ripper victims were not attractive women, followed by an out-of-place comparison between them. This is not even presented in a way that has any meaning whatsoever to the history of the case and should not have made it into the final draft.

Very informative

Would you listen to The Mammoth Book of the Jack the Ripper Stories again? Why?

I would listen again, particularly on a long drive, because I'm sure I missed some salient points by listening whilst sewing/doing housework/gardening. It would be good to listen without such distractions.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the various hypotheses - difficult to specify my particular favourite, as it would spoil the revelation - and had already read some of the books mentioned. Indeed, we once lived in Wilkes Street in London and Jack committed one of his gruesome murders at the end of that road - one of the reasons I became intrigued by the case.

Have you listened to any of Kris Dyer’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Psychopath or conspiracy - consider the evidence . . .

Any additional comments?

A challenging read, particularly some if the descriptions of the injuries, but very thought-provoking with regard to the possible identity of Jack - or of the conspirators.

Very detailed and interesting the first part, but then, honestly , too long and quite boring the second one.
