"Many authors do a disservice to their books by narrating their audio version instead of using a professional.. You are the exception! No voice actor could have done a better job of captivating me throughout the whole listening experience. Well done!" Danny Kao, San Francisco, California, USA

What if everything you know about Jack the Ripper is wrong?

Since 1888, hundreds of suspects have been proposed for the Jack the Ripper murders–from Polish barbers to Freemason conspiracies.

But what if investigators have been asking the wrong question?

Instead of asking ‘Who was Jack the Ripper?’, Richard Walker asked ‘How were these murders actually committed?’

What he discovered is truly shocking.

Richard Walker grew up in Liverpool before a life of adventure—from yachting across the Pacific to 30 years on stage—eventually joining the prestigious London Walks tour company to become a passionate Jack the Ripper tour guide with over 18 years’ experience. He leads intimate tours from Whitechapel, blending theatrical storytelling and historical insight.

I love the fact that he talked (wrote) about each victim as an individual and not just some common street person. Loved that even the simplest explanation helps us understand the cases.

Interesting take on such a great tale

Congratulations to the author of this book. Every writer likes to say “this isn’t just another Jack the Ripper book” but in this case that is ABSOLUTELY the case. Detailed, compassionate and utterly compelling.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Chilling and Fascinating Exploration of One of History's Greatest Mysteries

Yours Truly Jack the Ripper is a captivating audiobook that delves into one of the most infamous unsolved cases in criminal history. Richard Walker skillfully combines historical research, intriguing theories, and compelling storytelling to create an audiobook that is both informative and thoroughly engaging.

One of the book's greatest strengths is its ability to bring the mystery of Jack the Ripper to life without relying on sensationalism. Walker presents the historical context surrounding the crimes, helping listeners understand the social conditions, investigative challenges, and public fascination that turned the case into a lasting historical phenomenon. This broader perspective adds depth and credibility to the narrative.

The audiobook does an excellent job of examining the various suspects, theories, and unanswered questions that have fueled debate for generations. Rather than pushing a single conclusion, the author thoughtfully explores multiple possibilities, encouraging listeners to draw their own conclusions. This balanced approach keeps the mystery alive and makes the listening experience even more engaging.

The narration is clear, professional, and perfectly suited to the subject matter. The narrator maintains an excellent pace, delivering historical details and investigative insights in a way that is easy to follow while preserving the suspense and intrigue of the story. The production quality is excellent, making for a smooth and immersive listening experience.

I particularly appreciated how the audiobook balances factual information with storytelling. Historical true-crime works can sometimes feel overly academic or dry, but this audiobook remains accessible and engaging throughout. Even listeners who are only casually familiar with the Jack the Ripper case will find themselves drawn into the mystery.

Another highlight is the attention given to the enduring legacy of the case. The audiobook explores why the mystery continues to captivate historians, criminologists, and the public more than a century later, offering valuable insights into both the crimes themselves and the cultural fascination surrounding them.

Overall, Yours Truly Jack the Ripper is a well-researched, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining audiobook. Richard Walker presents a compelling examination of one of history's most enduring mysteries while keeping listeners engaged from beginning to end. Highly recommended for fans of true crime, history, and unsolved cases.

The reader moves along at such a pace it’s almost impossible to follow its like he is in a race
The latter parts of the book just seem to be the author attacking another historian
I have to say I prefer Russel Edwards theory
Personally I will never listen to this one again
