Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Prisoner 1167: The Madman Who Was Jack the Ripper

The problem with attempting to solve a mystery 130 years after it occurred is that most of the evidence, physical and otherwise, has either disappeared or is degraded. The author of this book attempts to go through the paper trail of a known escapee from a British insane asylum to prove that person to be the famous "Jack the Ripper". While the author makes a good case with the paper trail that he uses, I still find there to be too much speculation and too many possibilities without fact. Therefore, this book joins the many others in the corpus of "Jack the Ripper" title - entertaining reading and speculative, but not definitive. The book is a good entertaining read, but not much else.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Prisoner 1167: The Madman Who Was Jack the Ripper

I have always been into this genre of writing. James Tully keeps you fascinated with each page turn. I am not convinced that this particular person was Jack the Ripper, but the author lays it out and presents it so well, you may be swayed to think that his postulations are possible.Very well written and compelling. A must read if you like this sort of book.

A very well-researched view of each of the 'Ripper' murders detailing all of the subsequent proceedings as well as the associated locales. The author then goes on to make a case for the fit of James Kelly, an escapee from a nearby lunatic asylum, with the timing as well as specifics of the killings. The presentation is very straightforward and matter-of-fact in terms of style, almost as if being reported for a newspaper or other type of publication.

Makes a convincing case that This Man may have been "Jack the Ripper."All fans of true-crime should enjoy this, but especially "Ripperologists."

If you have issues sleeping, read this book.

I have always been intrigued by the Jack the Ripper mystery since I first read about it in junior high. This book really offers more substantial evidence than any of the other accusations that I've read about concerning the Whitechapel murders. Awesome read!

I have read a good number of "Ripper-ologist" books and this is by far at the top of my list. It has many of the same items that the other books have, the photos, the few facts surrounding the killings and so forth, however the theory that Jack the Ripper was this one man - Prisoner 1167 (I don't want to say too much if you're going to read it), well, it's still just a theory but an fascinating read. The only drawback - it took me a good 25 to 30% of the book to really get into it, but it was
