Dr. H.H. Holmes and The Whitechapel Ripper

It was a pleasant surprise. I'm reading ad much as I can about Holmes

There are many many versions to the story of DrHH Holmes+Jack the Ripper/TheWhitechapelRIPPER and since there are so many options to follow details seem sketchy and hard to follow. I feel this author has the most convincing version I've read, even this one is quite baffling. I say it because this person {Holmes} has to have been extremely quite thinking with an excellent memory. As he begins his "treasure hunt" he delves into the weaker mind and builds an elaborate scheme, one finds Holmes is a master manipulator with many properties, many faces and a memory for facts-one would sit and plan for hours who he wants, where he is going to find/take -->use and abuse these ladies that work the streets and does un-speakable things to them without a second thought or even the smallest hint on his intentions. The ladies he chose were of various ages, cultures but in his mind this type of women were vulnerable and would not be missed, this made his targets easier to find and dominate, and dispose of and still remain under the radar-not found out for long periods of time but he assumed when his playtime was over, and he discarded them he could just move on. As a master manipulator Holmes managed to weave himself into the lives of many people, to the point that at one time he charmed and had as many as 3 wife's at the same time, yet not one knew of the others. His arrogance netted him quite the stable of potiential suitors that ultimately became his victims. Things seemed like his reign would never end, and as many may still believe, not yet solved. Sure I am just a reader of this literary excellence and have MY Opinions like everyone else concerning the mysteries surrounding Dr.H H Holmes and Jack the Ripper whose travesties were all done in the dead (pun on words) of night in or around the late 1800s to early 1900s, and was quite successful, but even that proved to be to much for Holmes, however it is the mystic or mystery that made him one of the most notable figures of his time. This author has captured the essence of HH Holmes + Jack the Ripper better than others I've read about. 🗣 Choose for yourself, take a read and find as close to the truth as you will ever find with today's advanced technologies, but as time progresses more evidence may bring us closer to the real killer.. A very good compelling story. SemperFi -- Sgt M. usmc forever🇺🇸🇺🇸

Wow - what a book ! The author really delivers ! This is definitely a MUST read ! A bloody page turner that you wont want to put down. I was afraid that this might be like all the other Ripper books but this was very well written and kept me engaged from the 1st page till the end. Spoiler Alert - in my opinion, based on the research the author did ( think "Clue") the doctor did it !! LOL - Jack the Ripper's murders are finally solved - at least I believe they are and this book seems to prove it - Check this book out - Five stars for sure !!!

It could be possible but not probable since HH Holmes was in London when the Jack the ripper killings happen but I don't know if he could have did it in London and America

Interesting and entertaining but too much speculation and myth thrown at the wall hoping to see what sticks....as fact.

What a journey! What a theory! The graphics illustrated and described in this book are NOT for the weak-hearted! Dane Ladwig has earned his "KUDOS" with this horrific page turner. The research alone tells a story! The comparison between Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes is so likely it made a believer out of me!

Hard for me to get into, lots of info I've heard over and over again , so it seems slow-moving to me. May return to continue reading at a later date.

This is the worst book so far on the Ripper Murders. Of course the author claims to be able to make a case that H.H.Holmes, who built the Murder Hotel in Chicago and killed dozens of people, was Jack the Ripper too. But a case there isn't. I really wanted to see where he was going with this so I stuck with the lousy writing for many dozens of pages. But when he gets to the Ripper part no evidence is given. Glad I didn't have to pay for this .

Information, interesting, well worth a read. Some compelling points to be considered. The author has catapulted another possibility right to the top of the list of Ripper suspects.

Made a great case for the forever raging fire that is the argument, is Holmes the London Ripper?Really would recommend this, but to those with an open and versatile view on historic events

This book offers no insight into his theory that HH Holmes was Jack. Content is all filler, with some of that filler being incorrect.

I'd been waiting to read this book as it sounded so fascinating and after reading it ,it didn't disappoint me! It really is a good read. I'd always thought Francis tumblety could of been the ripper, but after reading this book I've changed my mind. Holmes does fit the description from witness statements. He was also evil enough to be the ripper!? George Hutchinson statement says"he was very surprised to have seen her with such a well dressed man" holmes certainly had the money to dress expensively!!! The American the police were searching for also could of been h h holmes!? A very good book I can recommend to anyone fascinated in the Jack the ripper mystery!

Great...thanks
