The Camden Ripper

By: Dwight Hall

Narrated by: Jim Masters

Whitechapel, London, was not a safe place for women in the 1880s, as an unknown man was killing prostitutes throughout the region, and police had no idea who this mystery person was. He was eventually dubbed "Jack the Ripper", but his real identity was never discovered. Just over a hundred years later, London became precarious once again as Anthony Hardy, a man who has been obsessed with Jack the Ripper for most of his life, took to the streets to emulate his hero. Hardy was eventually given the name "the Camden Ripper", but this time, police are on to his game.

Brief look into the life of Anthony Hardy

This is a very brief look into the life of Anthony Hardy. This most likely only scratches the surface of his life and reads more like someone put together a story around a wiki entry with just the pertinent details. It serves as a great introduction if you want to determine if you want to know more about the Camden Ripper. I honestly knew nothing and now know what I have learned from this story is enough. Jim Masters did a decent job with the narration. I can't say I was overly excited about the performance, however, this style of writing isn't all that conducive to grand performances. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

A very quick overview of a heinous set of crimes

Inspired by Jack the Ripper, emboldened by an
Uncanny string of luck and prejudices of the times, suffering from mental illnesses. This is the true story of the Camden ripper. Who he was, how he did what he did, what led to the crimes committed and the possibilities that there were many others that were never discovered. Fascinating.

The Ripper

The Camden Tipper by Dwight Hall is a great deep dive into one of London’s serial killers. I must confess I had never heard of the Camden Ripper before reading this. I thought it was very well done and researched. Jim Masters did a great job at narrating this production. All in all I would recommend The Camden Ripper to anyone who enjoys true crime stories.
