In a much touted special back in February on ABC, it was poinyed out how much money was spent by Ms. Cromwell in her Jack the Ripper case. She had drawn a 'complete' conclusion as to the identity of Jack the Ripper. In her book, Ms. Cromwell goes forth to show just how that money was spent (and assuredly how she will recoup it). However, the book is a fascinating read. She never waivers from her conclusion as to the identity of the killer and does not allow you to wander either. With her scientific background and inimitable writing skills she takes us on the journey with her to see - just as assuredly she did - that her conclusion is one of almost verifiable fact. What we learn about her claim is just quite possibly how 'right' she could possibly be. Many conclusions and comparisons are drawn but not in a willy-nilly fashion. Each item that she brings up is backed up and qualified. Each turn that she makes she explains to us why she is leading us down this path. Some Ripperologists may still claim that she is wrong but Ms. Cromwell certainly does not allow you to think that with this writing. I would definately recommend this book to anyone interested in adding this to the plethora of suppositions that wre already lining the shelves. It simply is a great read. Review by John Guerra
