Casebook Message Boards: Ripper Media: Specific Titles: Non-Fiction: Crimes, Detection and Death of Jack the Ripper (Fido)

The best book existing on one particular suspect. Fido, by far, makes the strongest case against any one suspect. Although the theory is not perfect, it is the best we have for now. Congrats to Mr. Fido for his exhaustive research and intelligent analysis of this case, and uncovering of this suspect.

Hi T.S., Although I admire Fido's work, his conclusion has left me unconvinced. You say that he makes the strongest case against any one suspect is simply not true. Fido argues that Kosminski was misidentified and then attempts to prove that David Cohen and Nathan Kaminsky were the same person. As far as I am concerned, Kosminski/Kaminsky/Cohen are still three seperate people. But I agree that his book is an excellent one. Cheers, John
