(2) Historical inaccuracies in the text. Too much slippage between modern Liverpool and Maybrick's Liverpool. Like a BBC update of one of Jane Austen's novels - the sensibility is all wrong. Of course, this is my subjective response, and it's only to the diary.
I still think Maybrick is a strong candidate.
