The Ripper in Ramsgate by Christopher Scott. As a local historian I love books on local history, espcially those that teach me new details about the place that I live, and that people that once lived here. These books take the reader on a journey and make one appreciate the area that they live in, and help them remind younger generations why those areas are of importance. Chris takes us on a similar journey through Ramsgate, and show’s us that not every Ripper book has to be about the ripper, but can also cover the minor supporting charectors that make the case so interesting. He states in the begining that he has no intention of revealing a new suspect, but instead he takes us through the people involved in the case, and what links them to this seaside town. Utilising Chris’s knowledge of BMD entries, Census records, and press reports, the stories unfold supported by primary sources. All in all a rather interesting read, which is a valuable addition to any book shelf. The book is available now priced £3.99 and postage is free within the UK. |
