Summary
There have been countless attempts to solve the brutal murders committed by Jack the Ripper more than 100 years ago. It seems that almost everyone has their own theory and their own suspect, ranging from the reasonably likely to the entirely preposterous. What this most famous of British criminal cases has always required is a professional eye to analyse it with all the benefits of modern investigate techniques.
Now that has been provided in the shape of the man most qualified to solve the case: former British murder-squad detective Trevor Marriott. His long and arduous investigation dispels the rumours, fantasies, and urban legends that have for so long stalked through the shadowy world of this vile killer. The results are startling: for many years it has been accepted that Jack the Ripper killed only five. But now, it can be revealed that up to nine were victims.
And, most astonishing of all, a new prime suspect never previously considered has emerged, with evidence linking him not only to the Whitechapel cases, but to murders all over the world. Jack the Ripper: the 21st Century Investigations reveals the Ripper's true identity at last, and the fate that befell him.

not great
quick to dispel others assumptions but only to quick to put forward his own.
at one point he states that know one heard anyone sounding foreign but then introduces his own forum suspect.
He has obviously done a lot of research I'm not doubting that but just poo poo's everyone else's work.
narration is a trifle dull too.

Enjoyed very much
Just had to set the speed of the reader to 1.2x to follow easily. Love the new theories and appreciate the efforts in research by the author.

I still think Kosminski done it
Book certainly a different angle BUT clutching at straws in my opinion. Like saying your football team played away in London every weekend murder took place, then discount everything else but just push reasons for your new view. Actually, now I think of it...hmm. what team always lost away in London on those dates ......

Superb
The level of proper investigative reporting was very good and actually the most accurate detail read or listened to.
Credit to the Author and draws a very plausible conclusion

Dire reader...
What would have made Jack the Ripper: The 21st-Century Investigation better?
This started badly.. with chapters simply reading out the verbatim proceedings of the Coroner's court.
Coroner: Did you see the body?
Witness: Yes.
Coroner: Did you see anyone else?
Witness: I did not
etc etc...
It would have been far better to write a summary! Presented this way, it was terribly boring.
What was most disappointing about Trevor Marriott’s story?
A potentially interesting narrative .. ruined by a reader.. who sounds like a child trying to read out loud.
Wooden.Awful!
Any additional comments?
Look elsewhere.

Difficult to listen to.
Unfortunately the staccato type narration ensured this was too difficult for me to listen to. To me it sounded to be without any structure to the sentences and without any proper inflection that made the sentences flow. I would liken this to computer generated speech akin to the live subtitles on the news.
I’ve read a number of books on this subject but after 3 hours I could not bear this any longer and quit.
