Show Notes Ep 230 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily Webb Was a man convicted of murder in Australia in the late 19th Century also responsible for the Jack the Ripper murders in London? Far from being a Ripper 'fan', author Garry Linnell is intrigued by Victorian history. In his new book ‘Devil’s Work’, he doesn't just retell the story we're so familiar with but uses it as a starting point to take us further into the social upheaval of the time, both in England and in Australia, where his suspect ended his days.
