Customer Reviews of The American Murders of Jack the Ripper
Ridiculous theory on Jack the Ripper in America Gordon (Alias-Jack the Ripper: Beyond the Usual Whitechapel Suspects) here attempts to convince readers that following his funny little games in Whitechapel in 1888, Jack, whom he identifies as Severin Klosowski, went on tour in 1891, racking up another four kills in the New York/New Jersey area. While the information on the four alleged victims is quite thorough, Gordon fails to provide sufficient evidence to prove his theory. Few of the American victims follow the killer's established MO: only one was a prostitute, and only a single body was butchered. One was shot and another strangled and left intact. The murders were sloppy and amateurish and smack of robberies gone bad. Jack's crimes also took place within roughly a square mile of London-no doubt very close to his residence-while these murders are spread long distances apart in two states. The writing itself is quite uneven, and many of the illustrations amateurish. Diehard fans might find this interesting, but otherwise it's just another Ripper theorist Jacking off. Not recommended.-Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"
