Casebook Review:
Reader Review:  (39 votes)

One of the founding texts in the study. Though difficult to find today, Odell's book was one of the first well-researched Ripper books to hit the market. His theory was that a shochet (a Jewish ritual slaughterer of animals) was responsible for the murders.
