I finally finished Marriott's "JtR, the 21st Century Investigation" last night, and I'll post up a review tomorrow.

Which edition? The one that doesn't argue that Feigenbaum was the Ripper (1st) or the one that does (2nd)?

I guess mine is the 2nd edition that argues that he was!

I guess it would be the second edition.

I need to pick up a second edition of that somewhere, but then maybe I can just wait for the third edition. Next week when Ripper Notes #28 is out there'll be new information on Feigenbaum available. I'm sending it on to Trevor so he can update or respond as he sees fit.

The first part of the book discusses the victims. This makes up a good chunk of the book but unfortunately consists of little more than quoting the inquest coverage in toto and adding some commentary (from a couple of paragraphs to a couple of pages) at the end. Many of the conclusions/speculations that are presented are weakly, if at all, supported. Most notorious is the "Eddowes apron was a sanitary napkin" and "the missing organs were stolen by medical students" assertions--both of which make little sense and in the case of the latter shows a lack of knowledge of the conditions under which the autopies took place.

part 2 to follow.....
