Summary

Performed by acclaimed narrators Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King, this adventure takes place in Victorian London, 1897.

Sherlock Holmes has been asked by South African mogul Cecil Rhodes to stop an international ring of diamond smugglers. An alluring woman wants Watson to help raise funds for her charity. Lucy and Jack are looking forward to their wedding and moving into a new home. But then a new series of murders take place in Whitechapel, and Lucy is targeted by a notorious killer.

The Baker Street team will need more than their usual deductive brilliance to defeat their latest adversary, or else the case of the Ripper could be their last.

Nothing to dislike, once started, I have to get to the end to find out who did it.

All of the books in this series are very good. The story lines have many twist and turns, which keeps you guessing.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this but it was great. Clearly a work written with love, it explores the historical context more thoroughly than I was expected, introduces a range of likeable characters, has jeopardy and is a genuinely knotty mystery you really want to see solved. It's fun and it's compelling and though not pretending to be a heavyweight work of fiction, neither is it lightweight or forgettable. It was well researched and made me want to read more.

The Ripper is of course a well-worn story line and in less assured hands it usually ends up as some occult mystery hooking in the royal family in some unlikely plot twist - this was much more complex and frankly, much more believable and I appreciated that it animated a London that felt real, rather than a comic book version.

Loved this - much more than I was expecting
