Summary: A word from the author
Review: There was a piece in the New York Times on 02/14/04 revealing that many authors have stooped to writing reviews of their own books on Amazon.com and publishing those reviews anonymously. I want to assure the reader that I am not one of those authors and that I deplore the practice.The fact is, most of the reviews of "The Whitechapel Horrors" were complimentary, I am pleased to say, so I didn't have to attempt to pump up sales by writing my own. However, I admit there were a few stinkers -- only a few, I am also pleased to say -- but I have no intention of sharing those with you. I may be honest, but I am not stupid. If you are interested, you can read what some of the professional reviewers had to say about "The Whitechapel Horrors" on my web site,

Summary: Right up there, but just BARELY misses
Review: Who WOULDN'T want the Master Detective to investigate the Jack the Ripper murders? I mean, some of the original Holmes stories ran around the same time frame as the notorious murders. Hanna does a good job of making Holmes and Watson sound and act like the characters we grew to love in the canon. However, I had a feeling of what the ending would be, and I was not surprised. Don't get me wrong; I was not let down by the ending because I figured it was the only way to end the story, but I did see it coming. That keeps me from voting this 5 stars. One of the best pastiches of Holmes I've read.
