I'd agree. The elucidation of the pre-canonical victims also was excellent, and has got me champing at the bit to start Toms book, which will hopefully be some time today.
I also have never before read about the torso victims. Initially I was a bit perplexed by them being covered seperately, but on reflection it worked brilliantly. I think the chronological treatment of events is superb. Lumping all the torso victims together would have implied they were all by the same author (likely, but not guaranteed) & I suspect that the authors may feel that the torso victims were not all by the same killer - but that is a supposition on my part.
