It would have been 5 stars only it was very repetitive in the middle. It talks about the victims, the crime scenes, the missing pieces as well as theories that the police have. It also discusses how modern investigators would probably have solved this crime due to lack of technology at the time. Very interesting read

Honestly, this book felt like one big stream of consciousness which meant that it could probably be cut by a third when you take out the numerous times the author repeated themselves, including quoting a quote they'd only just quoted in the previous chapter. That was a nod to a sentence in which the author uses two variations of "frustrate" very close together instead of possibly picking up a thesaurus.
End note: this guy has such a boner for the killer John Christie I wish I had known beforehand and set myself up a drinking game to play whilst reading this. If I'd drank every single time Christie (and later, Peter Sutcliffe) was mentioned I'd not only be drunk and happy, I wouldn't have been quite so bored.
