Despite purchasing this book when it was first published, I have just now read it because Aaron Kozminski was so uninteresting to me as a suspect for Jack the Ripper. However, anyone interested in the series of murders in London in the late 1880s must at least be conversant with Aaron Kozminski and at least consider the possibility of Kozminski's guilt since two of the main investigators of the case both named Kozminski as a main suspect.If both Assistant Commissioner CID Robert Anderson and Assistant Chief Constable Melvin Macnaghten considered the same person as the killer, then he should at least be studied. Kozminski's candidacy is made more compelling by the fact that Donald Swanson, through whose hands all information about the murders flowed, also named Kozminski in his handwritten notes inside Robert Anderson's book .In "Jack the Ripper and the Case for Scotland Yard's Prime Suspect," author Robert House has very ably created a study of what is known historically and what can be surmised about a man considered as a leading suspect by three leading investigators of the Jack the Ripper crimes. House's "Jack the Ripper and the Case for Scotland Yard's Prime Suspect" is a well-written, well-researched and somewhat understated, rational examination of a suspect often dismissed out-of-hand by students of the murders.This book is especially enlightening about the historical events that might have shaped the serial killer who came to be known as Jack the Ripper. The book begins with the plight of the Jews in the Russian pograms and moves to London where the Kozminski/Abrahams family relocated and made their living by becoming tailors in the East End. Anti-Semitism was rampant and even their occupation was under fire.House only lightly touches on the murders and the victims as he concentrates on how Kozminski might actually be Jack the Ripper.Somewhere near the end of the book, as House was drawing all his threads together, it occurred to me just how knowledgeable he is about the entire case. Only a writer with a thorough understanding of his subject could have pieced some areas together.It was during House's discussion of Kozminski's mental illness and how other serial killers have been afflicted with the same condition that I first considered that Kozminski might actually be JtR. Kozminski's age had seemed too young to fit the witness descriptions, but was about the right age for the usual onset of schizophrenia. A very quiet, thoroughly nice, personal friend of mine became violent just before he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. When the voices started in his head, he did not realize they were in his head, but thought people around him were saying things and then denying saying anything. He attacked them and tried to force people to admit that they were indeed talking about him. If this person I knew could become violent, why not a man whose hospital records indicated that he was normally non-violent?By the book's end, House had made me realize just why Kozminski might actually be the Whitechapel killer of 1888.I especially appreciated House's honest appraisal that there is no way to ever know who the killer was, but he helped me understand just why Kozminski was considered a suspect and why students of the murders should not neglect learning about him.This book is an excellent read on many levels and is highly recommended for those with some background in the case. It might be too concentrated on one individual to be a good first Jack the Ripper book for someone interested in learning about the case.
