Sherlock Holmes and the Unmasking of the Whitechapel Horror

margysmusings

“Sherlock Holmes and the Unmasking of the Whitechapel Horror” is written by Frank Emerson and published by MX Publishing.

I received a free copy of this book from MX Publishing to review.

In the book Holmes and Watson work a fifteen-year investigation with Detective Chief Inspector (and later Pinkerton agent) Frederick Abberline to capture Jack the Ripper.

Emerson’s choice of killer won’t please some Ripperologists, but the story does lay out a good case against the chosen suspect.

The book is a good, brisk, read. Emerson has captured the voice of Watson extremely well, including a nice little Arthur Conan Doyle reference, which I will leave you to find for yourselves.

In summary, Whitechapel Horror is an atmospheric book that will interest Sherlockians and Ripperologists alike.

“Sherlock Holmes and the Unmasking of the Whitechapel Horror” is Frank Emerson’s first novel for MX Publishing, and I look forward to reading many…

What’s in a (Holmesian) Lifestyle?

Girl Meets Sherlock: A Holmesian Blog

I believe many of us who have loved Sherlock Holmes for an extended time have passed beyond the honeymoon stage. We’re not just consumers. Many are creators, commentators, and group facilitators. Our lives, whatever our “day jobs” look like contain inescapable traces of Holmes, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

What does this look like for you? I seek out Holmesian films and shows, but beyond that, I constantly find myself seeing inspiration from Holmes in other mysteries and types of media. I read pastiche. I re-read Doyle. I don’t have on-the-ground groups near me, but I maintain online contact. Occasionally, I find myself having a “What would Holmes do?” moment in my real life.

What about you? How does Sherlock Holmes intersect with your everyday life?

The Keys of Death Review by Margaret Walsh

The Keys of Death Review by Margaret Walsh

Features of Interest

The Keys of Deathis the third Sherlock Holmes novel from author Gretchen Altabef and published by MX Publishing.

A fun look at Holmes first case when he and Watson move into 221B Baker Street. The case? It’s the murder of Mrs. Hudson’s husband!

The story is mostly told in the form of the journal entries of Mrs. Hudson and Doctor Watson, supplemented with columns by Langdale Pike, and other bits and pieces.

Mrs. Hudson’s own voice rings out clearly. There is no mistaking Mrs. Hudson for John Watson or vice versa, as is often the case with multiple first person points of view.

All of the characters are well-rounded and interesting. Ms. Altabef’s Mrs. Hudson is a particular delight.

Richly detailed and well researched, The Keys of Death is a delightful addition to the word of Sherlock Holmes pastiche.

Highly recommended.

You can purchase a copy directly fromMX…
