I think the thing which annoyed me most while reading this book was the report filed by two police officers who interviewed Sutcliffe some time before he was arrested and who were convinced he was the man they were looking for were ignored completely. The report which they filed has since disappeared from the records. Why did no one listen to them or even consider conducting a more thorough interview with Sutcliffe under caution? Even if it was only done to eliminate him from the investigation? It seemed to me, reading this book, that the police were reluctant to formally interview anyone. Jouve, Nicole Ward (1986).

Joan Smith wrote in Misogynies, that "even Sutcliffe, at his trial, did not go quite this far; he did at least claim he was demented at the time". [45] I've bought and read more than a few Yorkshire Ripper books, this is, by far, the most thorough collection of his crimes. I was a mere toddler when he terrorised the country, but I still recall the palpable fear when my mum was off too play darts or bingo, and we were on the other side of the Pennies, is no idea off the scope, I just knew the name, Yorkshire Ripper, and wondered why they were so afraid. My dad was a lorry driver, he was convinced so was the ripper, no idea how or why he came to this conclusion, it was probably in the Sun or Mirror. But this book expands on what you've read and heard previously, and adds more victims. Convincingly too. Only thing I can't figure out is why the cover up? West Yorkshire police lost plenty of trust and the fact that there was rivalry between forces is no longer news. Why the secrecy? a b Keppel, RobertD.; Birnes, WilliamJ. (2003).

The book details the catalogue of errors made by the police that allowed this man to remain undetected and resulted in huge miscarriages of justice, including the imprisonment of three innocent men for crimes commited by Sutcliffe. There are so many unanswered questions that will likely remain that way due to police and government cover ups.
