New From Toronto

[Meyers]

I'm happy I've found this site.

 

Retired from Engineering 5 years ago, but have been reading the canon since I was a little boy. I'm looking forward to becoming a regular poster and contributor.

 

Most likeable story is "Sign of Four" and short story, "The Blue Carbuncle".

 

Other interests include Ripperology and Trap Shooting.

Hello and welcome to the Forum, Meyers!  Another person interested in Jack the Ripper! Maybe you can suggest some good non-fiction books?  I'm sure you'll fit right in.

Hi Meyers - Welcome to the Forum.

 

I sure you'll enjoy yourself here. 

[Meyers]

Thank you Baker Street for the welcome.

 

Non-fiction books regarding the Ripper abound in theories, suspects and conspiracy. The definitive (IMHO) is Philip Sudgen's book on JTR. He writes in a very readable style but only lays out the facts of the case. I only wish that I had read his book first before diving head first into the fantastical writings which cloud over the true case.

 

Thank you Ruthy.

 

I am a displaced Yorkshire man living outside of Toronto near Niagara Falls. I was born between Bradford and York.
