Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson by Lyndsay Faye

5.0

I was resistant at first to this book, I must admit. I was stubborn about believing a Holmes story not by Conan Doyle could ever be of this caliber, but oh, how I was won over!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Faye really nails Watson's voice, the research done on the real Ripper killings is effortlessly intwined into the story, and I was thoroughly engrossed the entire time. I could hardly put it down. Many praises are deserved for this one!
