4.0 out of 5 stars Highly Enjoyable!, March 27, 2000
As both a Holmes and Ripper enthusiast, I felt this book was an almost perfect marriage of fact and fiction, and undeniably the best battle between the Master Sleuth and the Master Psychopath in print. I said "almost perfect," and I must stress the word "almost." Like some other reviewers, I did feel somewhat let down by the ending and lack of resolution. However, by studying the case, I now know that this frustration is nothing compared to the emotions the REAL investigators surely felt when the Whitechapel Horrors simply stopped and nothing was ever heard from Jack the Ripper again. If Mr. Hanna intended to evoke this feeling with his readers, he has succeeded admirably! The suspense is well-maintained, the characters (especially Watson and perhaps the most amiable, verbose Holmes in print), reflective of their times, and the author's research commendable.I love the author's proposed solution as to how the Ripper eluded capture, but I question its practicality.All in all, "The Whitechapel Horrors" is a worthy continuation of Holmes' legacy, and deserves to be read by all interested in Holmes and the Ripper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well written novel, March 28, 2000
By A Customer
I just enjoyed reading this book. I got hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down. The plot is very exciting and interesting which makes the novel easy to enjoy. Edward Hanna's first novel is without a shadow of a doubt a success. He should continue to write Holmes stories confronting him against maybe the Phantom of the Opera, Arsene Lupin, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting, January 29, 2000
By A Customer
The story was very interesting. It showed an aspect of Holmes that had not been explored much before, failure. The author apparently did much research in order to make the atory realistic and exciting. I recommend not to read this late at night. At times the story was very detailed. This is a book that any Sherlockian should read, either to criticize or to enjoy.
