I am a little sceptical of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, I have read some truly awful ones and adding the Whitechapel murders to mix is brave. This book does work and is an entertaining read. It doesn’t have full on cracking pace I suspect it is dictated to by the murders historical timeline.
Two things irritated me, the first is the American spelling of English words, for example - specialized. This book purports to be written by Watson, Watson wasn’t American. The second is Holmes using the the American phrase “gotten”. These are minor criticisms but for me marred what is a very entertaining read. I have pre ordered the authors second book.
