Casebook Review:

Certainly one of the most controversial books ever written on the subject. The Maybrick diary is in all likelihood a hoax, but its authenticity continues to be debated in certain circles. Not recommended for beginners, but those with a strong grounding in the case may be interested in the story behind the diary.
