Review: The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims

The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims by Robert Hume
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The aim of the book is look at the life's of the victims of Jack the Ripper instead of concentrating on their deaths, sadly this has been badly done.It is sadly let down by poor research by the author and amateurish mistakes. Examples of this being the photos he claims to be the victims in life there is no proof to this, another being he gives the wrong name for one of witnesses in Chapter 1. Sadly it brings nothing new to the historical murder case and sheds no new light on the victims. The only positive thing I can say about this book was the cover

To be very trufuly this book is very like The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold which come out first.
