This is an accessibly written, intelligent and thorough history of the topic, including the historical background to the ship, the histories of the cast of characters, the theories, and the story to date with the recent discovery of the wreckage. The book is a social history of Victorian East London as it is about the murders themselves. Begg argues that the case excited such interest precisely because of the notoriety of the East End at the time. Chronological coverage includes detailed accounts of the lives of each of the victims and an examination of the police investigation. This multipack consists of Mary Celeste 0582784220 and Jack the Ripper 1405807121.
