I guess its all a matter of personal preferece, but if you want a JTR book that is well researched, well written, and a breath of fresh air then Patricia Cornwell's - Jack The Ripper:Case Closed is the best. Cornwell used to work for the state-of-the-art coroner/forensic office in Virginia. For 6 years she assisted with autopies and anything else that needed to be done. She knew and understood death. Also, and this is very important, she knew nothing of the murders of JTR. She didn't even know his victims were prostitutes. Cornwell started from scratch and studied the evidence. She did not want to repeat the same falsehoods that have become 'fact' when indeed they were not fact. Some of the problem came from some newspapers. Once things are written down, whether true or not, they get repeated and passed on. She stuck to the evidence that remained.
Another very good JTR book is :Jack the Ripper A to Z by Paul Begg, Martin Fido, and Keith Skinner. Once again the old falsehoods have been researched and found untrue so they stuck with the evidence. This is a great companion book for Cornwell's.

Who wrote the book of Jack the Ripper?
There are numerous books and publications that deal with the mystery of Jack the Ripper. Some are factual or, at least, claim to be, while others are fictional. Still others blend fact and fiction together. This creates confusion for a person who wants to seriously study Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders. lthough first published in 1994, Philip Sugden's historical investigation of the gruesome Whitechapel murders still stands out as a fact-based classic on Saucy Jack. There is certainly no shortage of books and movies about Jack the Ripper, the mysterious 19th century serial killer of London prostitutes (1888 - 1891). What makes Sugden's book stand out from the crowd is the fact that he started from scratch.
