About this listen
Bringing together ground-breaking forensic discoveries – including vital DNA evidence – and gripping historical detective work, Naming Jack the Ripper constructs the first truly convincing case for identifying the world's most notorious serial killer.
In 2007, Russell Edwards, fuelled by fascination and determination, discovered a shawl – an unexpected key in the historical mystery of Jack the Ripper.
Persistent and fearless, Edwards embarks on a captivating seven-year quest to authenticate the shawl and unearth its concealed truths. His search takes him deeper into the heart of one of history's most chilling real crime stories.
Tested meticulously by top forensic scientists, the shawl is not just proven to be genuine, but also revealing – it carries the blood of Catherine Eddowes, the fourth victim of Jack the Ripper.
With an intriguing blend of forensic investigation and historical research, the book explores the gripping evidence, a blood-stained shawl, connected to the universally infamous criminal, Jack the Ripper.
In an earth-shattering revelation, the extracted DNA leads Edwards to the most elusive truth – the identity of the notorious Victorian serial killer, Jack the Ripper . . .

you got him
this book was so intense. I didn't want to stop listening.
Just a real shame that there will never be any justice for those unfortunate women. I know it's been over 130 years but the police and courts should at least acknowledge what lengths you went to.
Bloody brilliant book

Fascinating story
So interesting but the worst voice to read it, the whining tone dragged. It took such a fascinating job done by the author but hire a better voice to read it would have been better.

A really fascinating book … with dreadful narration
Having read up on the subject for over thirty years I’ve read a lot about Jack The Ripper. Some books are brilliant, such as The Five, others less so. This is a really interesting, engaging book on the subject. In fact I finished it in almost one sitting. It doesn’t matter that I don’t agree with his theory, I just like absorbing all the information.
The ONLY let down with this audio book is the narrator. At best he sounds slightly exasperated when reading, at worst he sounds downright bored. I could almost forgive this, except he is almost sighing with boredom when describing the awful circumstances of these women’s deaths. He lacks any sympathy or empathy when talking about these women or the lives they led. I find that disrespectful. I’d love this book to be remade with someone reading you can out some emotion into the narrating.
The actual book is wonderful!

A work of pure brilliance!
Having followed the Ripper case for 30 years of my life it’s finally come to an end and this book is the perfect ending. I wonder what all of the “Ripperologists” will do now? This book had me gripped from start to finish! Superb effort!

disappointed
not a surprise who was named as the ripper. Was this a reissue of an older book?
