Timothy B. RiordanReseñas

"Dr." Tumblety would probably never have become that famous (or infamous) except that he was mentioned as one of the many possible suspects when Scotland Yard was looking for Jack the Ripper. There is actually no evidence to suggest he was, it was more that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he was a suspect character for other reasons.

In addition to being a quack doctor, or as he called himself most often, an Indian herb doctor, he was also gay in an age where that was totally unacceptable and even criminal. He also had a very big ego and was good at self-promotion. He spent his life trying to develop and maintain the respectability if a gentlemen so that he could be successful in his "medical" career. Judging by his lifestyle and his riches left after his death, he was successful indeed.
