  • Jack and the Thames Torso Murders

    13 JUN 2024 · A sensational new theory – and an insight into the late Victorian city through an intensively researched social history. Between May 1887 and February 1891, a succession of horrific murders shook Victorian London. During a reign of terror lasting nearly four years, numerous women were attacked. The police at the time believed the killings comprised two distinct sets – with two different killers. Several were attributed to the relatively unpublicised ‘Thames Torso’ series while the majority found their way into the Met’s ‘Whitechapel’ or Jack the Ripper file. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jack-Thames-Torso-Murders-Ripper/dp/1445687763/ref=sr_1_2?crid=BH0S2VBVNTQI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9ZvJv32_hdXpD1ToKAFQCZ1oLefrZhZwqMousbSDaqsvKGkOBdjgblJ62cLWwrjnBPfuFb5ZWJBfJOyvDlW7zdYjmwMSXm5oXMPdAIm5kO1KOOx5vIVm059d0BGctxJDZXNhnKxW-HCuBjdmkCWplTsxWmw8HlkktIkAfnNnfipvLQAAlbG2vOMAXhkAy2NGYlVf9BF4freIlpl95rYUOTalql_Cmk43cKeIxNnouLs.Y6UhOr5Jj68rbN26FluxNNMXsmL3lC2WxCdqp9k2yvc&dib_tag=se&keywords=jack+the+ripper+and+the+thames+torso+murders&qid=1718186821&sprefix=jack+and+the+thames+torso%2Caps%2C536&sr=8-2

  • REVIEW : Mary L. Trump - Too Much and Never Enough

    16 MAY 2024 · Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in New York with Donald and his four siblings. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. As a first-hand witness and a trained clinical psychologist, Mary explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who occupied the Oval Office. Written by the only Trump willing to speak out, Too Much and Never Enough is a fascinating and unnerving analysis on one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families. Mary Trump’s insight and intimate familiarity means she alone can tell the truth on what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Too-Much-Never-Enough-Dangerous-ebook/dp/B08B9LRX33/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.T004S4aPlznkvi-v3LD8pFhzMMDw--rCYquGu5OvvomSU5Edh2MAjLUPCwK8X_JjepraxMFLak28rnoXXCTZwilZcKbRA3ziPD0m4qGyMC_JS_uZFGKJAFFuzNlt5wvVp4vEBJKI0OoeFq6jn6JkuNsKbsJQtUDev2lrSKVECAP37hiBmlV7Y5AqMvyX2hx9H1jVPytsa45VBNWXZWHtRKU8dt6lPveiq1vjb5AOUOk.JZUZs0gDUN1Vo5HHSLhj0gM7xvGPZ1_pv6jCGJIjbCQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=mary+trump&qid=1715599146&sr=8-1 https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30806110114&searchurl=ds%3D20%26kn%3DToo%2BMuch%2Band%2BNever%2BEnough%253A%2BHow%2BMy%2BFamily%2BCreated%2Bthe%2BWorld%2527s%2BMost%2BDangerous%2BMan%26sortby%3D17&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1
