Summary

The fullest possible account of the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, including those he was not charged with and has never previously been connected to.

The police believed Sutcliffe was operating only in the Greater Manchester Police, South Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police force areas, using his car. In fact, Sutcliffe was operating nationally and internationally, using his employer’s lorry to commit attacks. Authors Chris Clark and Tim Hicks have meticulously researched Sutcliffe’s crimes and reveal many of his previously unknown victims for the first time.

The police failed to deliver justice for the victims’ families, and the media has failed to hold the police to account for this failure – both in the original investigation and in subsequent cold-case investigations.

The authors hope that by bringing more of the facts of the case into the public domain and by telling the victims’ stories, they can help to bring closure for friends and relatives of victims of the Yorkshire Ripper.

Abbreviation overload

Interesting but difficult to listen to due to the extensive use of abbreviations throughout. At one point I found myself backtracking and jotting down a list to keep track .
If the authors are correct, this odious creature was responsible for nearly 50 murders and attacks over 17 years, both here and abroad. His campaign of terror is littered with "if only's" ...more enlightened police; less blinkered police; the HOLMES computer system; less judgemental media etc etc.
Not like nowadays eh!

Narrator spoiled it

The narrator read it as though he was reeling off a shopping list. I just couldn't listen to it after a few chapters. He makes it sound really boring! I have other audiobooks about Peter Sutcliffe, so I thought I'd enjoy this. it's the first audiobook I've not been able to finish because of awful narration. Really disappointed. I'm just glad I had it on a 'free listen'.
