Summary

The shocking murders carried out by an unknown serial killer in London's East End during the autumn of 1888, haunted the public imagination at the time and have continued to exert a baleful influence ever since. But what was it like to live through those terrifying weeks?

This audiobook looks at the crimes of Jack the Ripper through the eyes of Londoners, including the rumors that swept through the capital city, the alarms, the riots, the persecutions, the suspicions, and the sheer naked terror of the awful autumn when a killer stalked the streets.

A Brilliant Listen

Compared to other books on the subject, this is relatively short but it’s a fantastic listen. It gives a broad perspective on life in Whitechapel, which would appear more caring and community based then I realised. I’d highly recommend this. A good, informative listen.

Excellent

Really good details in here, well structured and good narration.

Only critisim at the end at the book there is a summary of the most likley suspects we know about, but somehow is missed off William Bury. I know there are many suspects and the author cant mention all of them, but this is the only suspect we have worth serious consideration.
