Download As PDF : Jack the Ripper The Simple Truth eBook Bruce Paley 
Recently declared by the editor of The Journal of the Whitechapel Society to be the best Jack the Ripper book ever written, former Private Investigator Bruce Paley spent 15 years painstakingly researching his book. He was the first to declare Joseph Barnett to be the Ripper, and the first to apply modern detection methods to the case. The book has also been widely praised for its "extraordinarily vivid picture of late 19th century London" (Daily Mail). As The Journal of the Whitechapel Society explained "Paley really does understand the East End A.D. 1888, his words map out its DNA, his sentences tap out the arithmetic of existence. For one to understand the Whitechapel murders, one must understand the times. Nowhere can one do this better than in the chapters Paley devotes to this historical sociology...This is history with a poetical syncopation." As Colin WIlson said in his foreword to the book "If I had to recommend a single book on Jack the Ripper to someone who knew nothing about the subject, I would unhesitatingly choose this one." To which the Journal of the Whitechapel Society adds "The list starts with 'Bruce' and ends with 'Paley'." Or, as Val Hennessy said in the Daily Mail "Bruce Paley's excellent book convinces me, for one, that The Ripper has at last been nailed."
Jack the Ripper The Simple Truth eBook Bruce Paley
I downloaded the e-book believing that the book had been published in 2011 (only the ebook edition had been published in that year), but then, having realized that the paperback dated from 1997, I was at first disappointed, then I considered it an asset as it would be interesting to see what information had been added to the story over those 13 years.Bruce Paley did not convince me that Mary Kelly's lover, Joseph Barnett, was Jack the Ripper, but he sure caught my attention telling why he thought that Barnett was JtR.
He also has my admiration for having done some splendid research. Being a true crime writer myself, I can well imagine the mass of material he must have had when finally he started to write 'The Simple Truth'.
He is an excellent writer and never did I have a dull moment reading this book.

Jack the Ripper The Simple Truth eBook Bruce Paley Reviews
Good reading. Well documented. Interesting theory of Ripper's story. Personal use.
I really enjoyed the details of life during late 19th century East End London.; what a difficult life the people had, especially the children.
The version is filled with typographical errors to the point that it is nearly unreadable. In addition, the well-known mortuary photographs of the victims are labeled incorrectly. If facts this common and well known are wrong, why should I believe any other fact the author presents? The story is well presented, and I cannot blame the author for the extremely poor reproduction of the version. Perhaps the print version is better, but I just cannot recommend this title.
Bruce Paley has given this investigation new legs. His proposal of a new Jack the Ripper is very well researched and his conclusion is solid.
I don't think ANYONE will ever truly know who Jack the Ripper was, but he weaves a fascinating argument in favor of his pick.
Paley has obviously done an exhaustive investigation of both Jack the Ripper and his victims. I have read a lot of articles and books on this subject and, while I am no expert, there was a tremendous amount of information that I didn't know existed. Especially about the victims.
If you are a budding Ripperologist or just interested in a new approach on an old theme, this is a great place to start.
If you are one of the many people who actively study the Ripper murders, don't pass this book by. Even if you don't agree, there is a lot of historical insight to be gained here.
Well written and easy to read and follow.
Bruce Paley has written a great piece of Ripper literature. "Jack the Ripper The Simple Truth" is meticulously researched, well written, and quite entertaining. It paints a picture of Whitechapel and East London that made it quite real to me. He lays out a convincing case against Joe Barnett. Paley's thesis was quite original when he first introduced it. There is very little actual evidence against Barnett, but Paley uses modern methodology to point right at the person who would be one of the first suspects today. The boyfriend of one of the victims.
The version does have some formatting problems, but I didn't find any that interfered with the flow of the book. I'm reviewing the book, and I found it very well done. It's well worth a read to anyone interested in Ripperology, Victorian London, true crime, or serial killers. I liked this book very much and could barely put it down. I can't say if this is the best Ripper book out there, but I can say that I enjoyed it a lot.
I also found the meticulous endnotes and research very useful for further study.
As far as the book itself, I loved it. Thought it very well researched and thought out, and Barnett is certainly one of the most viable candidates for the Ripper. However, and this is the reason for the two stars (for the book itself I would have given five), there are so many typos, ranging from running five words together as one to consistently showing words containing the letter combination "r n" as "m", that it makes reading it extremely annoying, if not impossible. Many times I had to reread a sentence several times before I could figure it out. More careful editing please!
I enjoyed this book. I am by no means a Ripper expert, but it is well written and definitely persuasive. My only real issue with this book is that it focuses one person as the suspect. After reading this, it is hard to believe that that suspect was not the killer, but it would have been nice for the author to address some of the other suspects, at least to help us understand fully why he dismisses them.
