  Patricia Cornwells non-fiction offering, Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper Case Closed is filled with meticulous detail about Jack the Rippers murders. Cornwell brings modern forensic techniques into the investigation of this 122 year-old case in an effort to prove that Jack the Ripper was Walter Sickert, an artist and actor. Although the detail made the theory interesting, the book was quite slow-moving in parts. While the use of mitochondrial DNA and handwriting analysis may seem to implicate Sickert, I didnt find it convincing enough to merit the descriptor Case Closed.
