About this product

Product Information

The number-one New York Times -bestselling novelist Patricia Cornwell is known the world over for her brilliant storytelling, the courage of her characters, and the state-of-the-art forensic methods they employ. In this headline-making new work of nonfiction, Cornwell turns her trademark skills for meticulous research and scientific expertise on one of the most chilling cases of serial murder in the history of crime-the slayings of Jack the Ripper that terrorized 1880s London. With the masterful intuition into the criminal mind that has informed her novels, Cornwell digs deeper into the case than any detective before her-and reveals the true identity of this elusive madman. Enlisting the help of forensic experts, Cornwell examines all the physical evidence available: thousands of documents and reports, fingerprints, crime-scene photographs, original etchings and paintings, items of clothing, artists' paraphernalia, and traces of DNA. Her unavoidable conclusion: Jack the Ripper was none other than a respected painter of his day, an artist now collected by some of the world's finest museums.

Case Far From Closed!
By the time I finished this book, I almost felt like slitting my own throat! This is a poorly written, disorganized, and disappointing book. It appears as if not one word was edited out of this ridiculous, plodding tome that could have been one third its current size. The book reads as if Cornwell took all of her voluminous research notes, taped all her little sticky notes together, and just typed it up using some kind of stream-of-consciousness technique known only to her. The fake, grainy, sepia-tone illustrations lost a great deal of important detail seemingly for the sake of uniformity and artsy design. Many of the important primary documents would have been more convincing and much easier to see if they had been carefully and professionally photographed. Cornwell jumps around, not ... By the time I finished this book, I almost felt like slitting my own throat! This is a poorly written, disorganized, and disappointing book. It appears as if not one word was edited out of this ridiculous, plodding tome that could have been one third its current size.

The fake, grainy, sepia-tone illustrations lost a great deal of important detail seemingly for the sake of uniformity and artsy design. Many of the important primary documents would have been more convincing and much easier to see if they had been carefully and professionally photographed. Cornwell jumps around, not necessarily discussing events in chronological order. In addition, maddening and irrelevant asides are thrown in between the important points she is apparently trying to make. She discusses probable additional victims, yet doesn't bother to provide any kind of comprehensive, dated timeline or chronology for the reader to refer to. The same kind of timeline or chronology should have been provided for the most important of the hundreds of letters the Ripper allegedly wrote. All of that said, I believe that Sickert did the awful deeds, but I don't think Cornwell even came close to making a case. The proof may be in there somewhere, but someone else will have to find it, and rewrite the book. I hope someone from Scotland Yard takes up the ball. In a library, this book is unfortunately classified as a non-fiction book. It should have been placed along side the rest of Ms Cornwell's FICTION! © 2003 S. Spika (rarebookwoman on eBay)

Portrait of a Killer - Patricia Cornwell
I purchased this book online on eBay, it is a nice hardback book & I got it extremely reasonable. I have read several Patricia Cornwell books some about Dr. Kay Scarpetta & her true story book on Ruth Bell Graham, Cornwell has a way of writing books that holds onto your interest & keeps you reading from cover to cover. In Portrait of a Killer, Jack the Ripper Case Closed, Patricia Cornwell solves the Ripper Murders through extensive research & criminalistic's used in today's modern times that weren't available to law enforcement back in the 1800's.

There are pictures included in the book also, which helps give you a sense of how terrible the crimes were, & gives you an insight on some of the people involved. The book is an over all good read, & I think anyone who is interested in crime stories would enjoy this book because it is based on a true story, but also enjoy any of Patrica Cornwell's books, due to her knowledge of forensic science & the actual way crime scenes are worked, the process of the entire investigation & the outcome, even in her Scarpetta books the way the crimes are solved are based on the way a real life actual crime would be handled & solved. I suggest Cornwell to any true or imaginary crime buff.

Jack the Ripper--Case Closed?
If you want to learn more about the Jack the Ripper cases, this is a great book to read. However, it's not for the faint of heart, as it contains some pretty gruesome pictures. Patricia Cornwell did not totally convince me that her suspect is the real Jack the Ripper. In fact, she made me want to read more about him and others opinions as to who he was. This is not your typical Patricia Cornwell book, as it is non-fiction. But she's a good writer and it comes through in this non-fiction account as well. If this subject interests you in the slightest, it's definitely worth reading! I'd give it an 8.If you want to learn more about the Jack the Ripper cases, this is a great book to read.

The title is okay if your English
I heard of the story this Patricia Cornwell had written when it came out. I could not imagine an artist doing such a thing as Sickert. It is worth a read if you are into murder mystery. I bought the book for a friend of mine who is in a wheelchair. She likes mysteries and I thought this book sounded interesting. I flipped through it because I bought a painting by Sickert on ebay. Sickert is the accused artist in the book of being Jack the Ripper. I really can't imagine such a theory but she could be right. She seems to have made a very good case with the evidence she provides. I don't like murder books they are too disturbing.I know it is worth the read for my friend.I heard of the story this Patricia Cornwell had written when it came out.

"JACK the RIPPER" case Solved!!!!!
As a big fan of Partricia Cornwell's writing's, & having read several other books about "Jack the Ripper", this book was an obvious read for me. It's definently not for the faint of heart, as it contains some pretty gruesome details, but she tends to get off the subject several times during the book. I think Cornwell really did a great deal of research on this subject & I truly believe she it right about her final analysis of who the actual killer was!!!!!! I think OVERALL she did a great job on this book & I would give the book a rating of 8!!!!!!!!As a big fan of Partricia Cornwell's writing's, & having read several other books about "Jack the Ripper", this book was an obvious read for me.
