I think that you have to be a super-fan of forensics to really enjoy this book. I think she proves her point. The person who probably really was the Ripper sounds awful and by the end of the book I was very, very tired of reading about him. Cornwell's histories of poverty and gender relations as they interfered with anyone's ability to see who the killer could be was interesting. I got a lot out of the book AND I was glad when it was over.
