I had a pretty good week.

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

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Lyndsay Faye has written a wonderful pastiche about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson’s investigation into the Ripper Killing. The solution is satisfying, and I became quite attached to the character of Miss Monk. Worth the time of any Holmes fan.

Treasure Island by Marty Ross

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my first experience with Treasure Island, and the adaptation was superb. The actors did wonderfully and I was drawn into the story. Highly recommend.

The Dark City by Max Allan Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fascinating look into Eliot Ness and his start as Safety Director of Cleveland. Ness has just gotten hired and there is a ticking clock to get some results so that his budget can be passed. Without it, he’s a lame duck before he even starts. Highly recommended.
