Summary
This highly revelatory book, based on original research and completely new analysis, presents a compelling new suspect as the most notorious serial killer of all time. Using a different analytical approach, for the first time, Sarah Bax Horton identifies a named perpetrator as Jack the Ripper by linking eye-witness accounts of the killer's distinctive physical characteristics to his official medical records. It argues that his broken left arm, which left him unable to work in early 1888, was one of his triggers to kill as part of a serious physical and mental decline caused by severe epilepsy.
This new perpetrator fits the profile as stated by the police of the day: a local man of low class of whom they became aware after the final murder, when they launched an unsuccessful surveillance operation against him. As has never been done before, the author—an experienced former government researcher with specific expertise in research and analysis - formulates a complete analysis of the killer and his methodology, including how he accosted his victims, where he took them to their deaths, his unique modus operandi of a blitz-style attack, and how he escaped from each crime scene without detection.
Each of the six murders—from Martha Tabram to Marie Kelly—is discussed and reconstructed as perpetrated by this man, with his escalating violence clearly demonstrated.

Compelling
Seems a clear cut case. I was surprised at the diligence of the police at the time. Hyams was on their radar almost immediately.
Although I couldn't 'put the book down', i did find the narrator's delivery a bit irritating. But a minor quibble. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

one armed Jack
The attention to detail. The case is well made. This could be the actual Ripper.

A New Ripper Suspect
A new suspect that could be the ripper.
I enjoyed this and the topic is likely always to be an area of somewhat morbid interest to me.
An interesting story but doesn’t really knock the ball out of the park.
To be honest many people could be the ripper and Hyannis Hyams could be as well
The story and circumstances do fit better for this suspect than for many others previously raised to the limelight. To me he definitely makes the top 10 of not top 5.

Narration
Only 2 hours in and struggling to get a flow. Of course, the story is fascinating, and you need to be gripped. The narration is not consistent.

Might have
Another regurgitation of inquest manuscripts and a bloke who might have been “ Jack the Ripper” having stuck with the book till the end, I’m still not sure why the Author wrote this book. Lots of “ may have” “ could have “ and the like no actual evidence. Leaves you thinking the Author just picked a random guy and padded out a book with autopsy reports.
