This review is from: A Study in Terror (Paperback)

In the year 1888, a surgeon's kit mysteriously arrive at Baker Street residence of Sherlock Holmes. Training his marvelous powers on it,Holmes set forth on one of his most fascinating adventures.

Three-quarters of a century later, an equally mystifying package is deliverd to Ellery Queen. It contains a manuscript purporting to be an unpublished Sherlock Holmes novel written byJohn Watson, M.D.-an exceptional tale revealing the long-revealed secret of how Holmes uncovered the identityof Jack The Ripper!

Tracing the origin of the manuscript, Ellerydiscovers a startling connection betweenthe past and the present. Irresistibly intrigued, he journeys back into time to join Holmes in pursuit of the Ripper.
Following the master step-by-thrilling step, Ellery's remarkable powers of deduction lead him to a stunning and ironic solution of his own!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but flawed, May 20, 2005

By 

Solar Pons "Dr. Parker" (central Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Study in Terror (Paperback)

An interesting yet flawed account of Holmes tracking Jack The Ripper, with Ellery Queen added to the mix. Not a terrible pastiche, mind you, but it pales when compared to the wonderful non-Ellery Queen film version that stars John Neville as Holmes. So check out the film first, if you can track it down. And then, if you're so inclined, try the book.
