Summary

Published for the 30th anniversary of the arrest of Peter Sutcliffe, aka The Yorkshire Ripper.

The Yorkshire Ripper's reign of terror is well known, but many remain unaware of the full truth behind the brutal attacks that shocked the nation many years ago. Countless crucial details of murder, manipulation and miscarriages of justice have been hidden from the public, and the true extent of the Ripper's crimes still remains hidden to this day. This book exposes the twist in the tale of the most notorious British serial killer of the last hundred years.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Grim Listening

This book is a shocking (and I mean shocking) catalogue of Sutcliffe's crimes, and the negligence of some of the investigators.

30 or 40 murders?

Mind boggling police incompetence. Quite simply breathtaking. Nothing less than a tour de force of investigation by the author

Excellent coverage of all of the victims

This is a truly excellent book, detailing all of the ‘unknown’ victims of the vile killer.

It is handled with sensitivity and great insight, and truly provides more to think about, even for those well versed in these cases. The research done is fantastic and thorough and I can’t recommend this highly enough.

Engrossed throughout

Of all the true crime books that I have ever read or listened to, this is by far the most in-depth researched. There is background and named studies on subjects as they are introduced, almost like an educational textbook would have, but to counter that, it's thoroughly entertaining too.
I've just finished my third listening of this book. Not only is the content amazing, so is the narration.

A well deserved five stars!
