About this listen

“It's me, love … I'm The Yorkshire Ripper.”

With new material from personal interviews with Peter Sutcliffe–I'm the Yorkshire Ripper offers a completely new insight into the shocking life and times of one of Britain's most notorious serial killers.

When Peter Sutcliffe spoke those words to his wife Sonia following his arrest in 1981, it marked the end of a killing spree which had terrorised northern England for five years. The nation had been appalled yet gripped by the Ripper and was now fascinated by the man behind the headlines.

But despite millions of words being written about the case since his arrest 40 years ago, the full Peter Sutcliffe story has never been told–until now.

Based on a vast quantity of raw material collected from Sutcliffe himself over a period of 16 years, ‘I'm the Yorkshire Ripper' is the compelling account of the most terrifying series of murders in British history–much of it in the killer's own words.

Stunning book vast detail & insight. A MUST read/listen. I've listened to several book on him & this is by far the best.

Greater detail than any other book on him.

I am pretty robust when it comes to upsetting scenes and descriptions, horror movies and reality media don't disturb me, but this book was quite unsettling in places! Stick with it though as the research and interviews reveal the absolute horror and madness of what Sutcliffe did.
The book also delves into the investigations and how that veered back and forth between brilliant insight and solid incompetence. One must remember though(and the book points this out) how the Police forces in the UK were in a state of flux at this time, moving from post-war simplicity to a more modern world of DNA and computing.
Thoroughly recommend.

A fascinating insight!

Fascinating. It’s well written and read. I was absorbed and horrified in equal measure. I already knew it thought I knew a lot about the case but this book went into areas I did not know and had not been reported . In many ways Sutcliffe represented the banality of evil. This is definitely worth the time .

Excellent

This book was incredibly well written and researched but the narrator didn't alter his voice between narration and quotations, which threw me sometimes

Could have been perfect with a good narrator
