Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about Jack the Ripper's alleged penis, so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate.

And for this episode, we read Portrait of a killer, Jack the Ripper, case closed by Patricia Cornwell. Joining us to discuss this true crime

classic is Rebecca Mahoney, co-writer of The Bridge podcast, and author of the upcoming bestselling Death Fiction

YAA debut, The Valley and the Flood.

Hello.

Thank you guys so much for having me.

Thanks for coming back.

Yes.

Becky previously read the Five Nights at Freddy's tie-in novel The Silver Eyes with us.

And we all kind of liked it.

Kind of liked it.

It gave me a fairly unrealistic view of the books that I would be covering here on

worst bestsellers.

Yeah, I mean, first of all, this one's way longer.

And we figured it would be good to invite her back to read actual garbage so that she'd really understand.

Get the true crime.

Get the true crime audience also, I think, is one of our goals here.

You know, if you've listened to this podcast at all, ever, you probably have gathered that

I am not really a true crime fan.

I also don't like fake crime.
