    About this ebook

    The Whitechapel Ripper Must be Stopped

    A madman on the loose, driven by dark urges and uncontrollable violence.
    A hero, lost in the grip of addiction.
    The greatest and most desperate criminal investigation in history.
    Who will save us from Jack the Ripper?

    The most terrifying, explicit, and realistic Sherlock Holmes story ever told.

    Whitechapel: The Final Stand of Sherlock Holmes provides readers a rare look at the lives of the victims, the monster known as Jack the Ripper, and the characters of Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved stories. All are presented in a fresh and entirely new way. A entirely new realistic way.
    Readers familiar with the Holmes stories will be shocked (and in some cases upset) with these new characterizations, but take heed as Gerard Lestrade transforms from doddering simpleton into an actual living and breathing detective assigned to the worst slum imaginable. They will be captivated by the reality of Holmes' addiction to cocaine and morphine. They will find themselves walking the cobblestone streets of Whitechapel, wondering if Bloody Jack's blade might be aimed at their throats next.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I feel that the writer is top notch. There is plenty of gore here, but it's Jack the Ripper we are talking about. I enjoyed the imagining of the characters in the book as captured by the author. It's funny, though, that in my mind Holmes will always be Basil Rathbone and Watson is Nigel Bruce. And so those were the images I had as I read the book (although, I did have to imagine a younger Nigel Bruce).I download a lot of free books and this is one I am so glad I found. I wish the author had written more than one book to constitute a Holmes/Watson series. Believe me, compared to the dreck I've read from other free downloads, this book is literary gold!

      I felt this book was well written. I have always LOVED Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper...here is both together.I don't want to give away much of the story so I won't same anything about the plot. I am sure you can guess...Sherlock Vs. Jack!This version is definitely ADULT...and graphic. If you would like a tamer version with the same story line, try the "Gentleman Edition".

      This is undoubtedly the worst Sherlock Holmes spin-off novel I have read. As its title suggests, it concerns the Ripper murders, which is fair enough, if an unoriginal real life mystery for the Great Detective to unravel. However, it is poorly written and focuses excessively on the bodily mutilation/slash horror dimension to the murders, at the expense of building up an atmosphere of tension and drama through good writing; rather it built up in me an atmosphere of revulsion. Even worse though, the depictions of Holmes, Watson and Lestrade bear almost no resemblance to the characters created by Conan Doyle, with their dialogue sounding generically modern; Lestrade is no longer a mostly competent but uninspired officer, but instead a brutal thug who beats suspects bloody when it suits him, swears constantly, and has sex with prostitutes to get information out of them. All this combined to make me stop reading between a quarter and a third of the way through. One to be avoided by anyone who cares about these iconic characters.
