Ripper Hunter: Abberline and the Whitechapel Murders
by M.J. Trow (Pen and Sword, 2012); audiobook read by Terry Wale (Soundings, 2013)
An ambitious attempt to biographize Inspector Frederick Abberline – a prominent figure in Jack the Ripper fiction but about whom, factually, very little is known. In telling the (quite interesting) history of Abberline’s times, Trow contextualises and thence mostly conjectures his life story.
