3.0

Sherlock Holmes and the Unmasking of the Whitechapel Horror is a fictional tale of the actual Jack the Ripper serial killings that occurred in the Whitechapel district of London. While the actual crimes remain unsolved, author Emerson has managed to weave a speculative tale of crime solving that involves fictional characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

The story unfolds over a course of 14 years and is narrated through Dr. Watson’s point of view. I found the timeline to be too long and drawn out, but I did enjoy the storytelling through Watson’s perspective.

Since I prefer adrenaline-filled crime stories, Sherlock Holmes Whitechapel Horror fell a little flat for me. The novel is short in length but a little too slow for my tastes. But for those readers that enjoy the methodical investigative journey, this Whitechapel mystery will certainly fit the bill. Three likeable stars from me.

I received a digital ARC from MX Publishing through the author. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
