*Thank you, thank you.* This lady is my idol.
Loved reading everyone of your books. I own a copy of all your Scarpetta books. So great to see you on these videos. And listening to you talk is as captivating as reading your work.
My new favourite author her books are sooooo good
Check out Walter Richard Sickert: A collection of 246 paintings (HD) on KZread. you can get a good impression of him through his paintings. You can feel his passion for a place in time to record as as painting. His hearts in painting and his emotion flows through his snapshot of the past! The Ripper was a cold hearted man on a mission!
She's truly captivating :)
Not a mention of Stephen Knight? Jeez.
Noooo.... Scarpetta can't shack up with Marino. Nuh Uh.

The composer was not Jack. Maybe James Maybrick his brother!
Shes a better fiction writer Patricia says at 26 mins. She just put me off buying her new book. Walter Sickhert couldn't have killed the women by himself. He was a weak sickly man! He was a cerebral man, all brain but no brawn. He was a fantasist. He wasn't disturbed like the Ripper. He was an artist. He was too scared to go walking around Whitechapel in the dead of the night. He was the sort of man who was brave with his friends behind him! From Patricia's first book I think she has got some things right like the Chloroform theory, the tongue lacerations and some of the stuff she accused Walter of doing like the press letters from the paper research, are correct but he didn't kill The Canonical Five! No way!
This monster is a evil evil murderer

He is not, he was a pretender fantasist just like me! I can see it clearly. Takes one to know one! Go and give a real serial killer all the books on the Ripper to read then when hes done ask him who he thinks Jack was! I bet you he gets it right!
