Welcome to Litsy!

Better than the negative reviews I read. I thought her story was plausible, but did find a lot of the evidence circumstantial. Ex.: there is no proof he wasn't in Dieppe (apparently no one wrote about it), so he must have been in Whitechapel. Or: that painting looks an awfully lot like a murder scene.

One of my vocally wise little reading stuffies - Tigger, has decided that (since he‘s clearly🙄 the only one prepared for Halloween (“cough” - he lives in his costume🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️) that he gets to choose the first book to start from the #ScarathlonStacks.

I think he‘s chosen wisely (this time🤨) ‘cause it‘s one that‘s been in my owned TBR forever.

How extraordinary for a mystery writer to research and investigate a century-old psychopathic serial killer. She convinced me, but I think a modern jury would need more evidence to build a case. I think defense would say it was all coincidental. Cornwell did a great job explaining modern forensics, but I wished she had documentation to say the suspect could not be sexually active instead of a nephew's word. The suspect was married 3 times. 🤔

They knew nothing about entomology - the interpretation of insect development as a marker for time of death...

I..KNEW.. NOTHING.. ABOUT IT TOO.

Handwriting is easy to disguise, especially if one is a brilliant artist, but the unique and repeated use linguistic combinations in multiple texts is the fingerprint of a person's mind.

The stiffer and filthier with blood, the more the coat boasted of a surgeon's experience and rank.

2. I have 22 checked out and 4 on hold.

3. Three dogs and three cats.

Wanted to take quick break from #BooksOnTarot for a spooky read and/or listen.

Love this book! But if you want a spooky listen then the audio book is the best choice. Even though it's abridged it has excellent production values for a chilling experience. The book is read by a British woman who was perfectly cast!

I wouldn't have anyone under 17-18 listen though.

A very notorious #PsychoKiller ... #OctoberXFiles

A #NightInTheCity could lead to deadly consequences when Jack the Ripper roamed White Chapel.

Slightly concerned that my mind jumped to Jack the Ripper with this prompt! #FierceFeb

Pretty good read! If you are into forensics and a little dash of historical crime. Read very easy and wasn't boring at all. Only reason it wasn't a pick for me was I could have either used more science or more of a story line. It floated somewhere in between for me. But still recommend!

@WarpedSweetness @Cinfhen @TheBookAddict I got the offending sticker off without a problem! Haha! Here's another picture of my bargain price book. 😉

It looks so much better!

The whole Jack the Ripper case is #complicated . Everyone has a theory as to his identity. This is Cornwell's initial hypothesis and analysis (she wrote an update recently to further support her theories). #augustgrrrl

Sometimes I go get "bread" at the market across the street because by "bread" of course I mean a used book from the "Used Books for Charity" section of the store.?
