Commentary To Books Jack the Ripper: The Final Chapter
On 7 August 1889, an American woman, Florence Elizabeth Maybrick, was sentenced to death in a court in Liverpool, England, for a crime she did not commit. She was condemned for the murder of her husband. Her husband was Jack the Ripper.This book reveals how the largest and most detailed investigation ever undertaken on the subject of the Ripper Murders led the author to the story of Florence and how she was framed for the murder of her husband, James Maybrick, as part of an official cover which continues to this day.The key to this extraordinary story is the Diary Of Jack the Ripper. When this remarkable documents first came to light, Paul H. Feldman set out to prove that it was a hoax. He couldn't. In fact, the more he researched the Diary, the more he became convinced that it was genuine, that it was written by James Maybrick and that Maybrick was the Ripper. Now he has proved it.
Feldman explains exactly why the Ripper murders always been shrouded in secrecy, why there was an official cover-up, why there have always been rumors of links to the British Royal Family, why there has always been speculation about Masonic involvement and why an innocent American was sentenced to death for a crime that she did not commit.
As well as providing the long-awaited solution to one of the most enduring mysteries in the history of crime, this is a story about real people. Feldman's research draws in people alive today who are descended from Florence, and others descended from James Maybrick the living descendants of Jack The Ripper.

The diary of Maybrick is without doubt one of the most enigmatic mysteries in the written world.Don't get me wrong, I am completely convinced of its authenticity, but I do wonder at it's survival over so many decades. To be a fake it would need about ten people to be involve directly in the conpiracy. Including handwriting experts, and other unrelated people. The forger would have had to study the Maybrick family, including the movements, habits and intimate details of their everyday lives. S/heI have read a few books on Jack the Ripper, but I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as others I've read.
I quite liked this deep debate into the Maybrick diary. It virtually picks up where Shirley Harrison left off and puts a case for a family tree leading to modern times.This book all but proves that James Maybrick was Jack The Ripper. I always found the diary compelling, but couldn't connect the historical dots, Feldman does in very convincing fashion through years of exhaustive historical research. I've read many books on the subjects and toured the murders sites, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction indeed.
bit heavy going initially, but having read it twice now, very good, on a par with Patricia Cornwells book about Jack.
