Dust and Shadow Book Review

Writing reviews for two Books in a day, I'm rocking this! Ok, I kinda suck at keeping up with the blog, but life happens, ya know? So anyway, here's my review for Dust and Shadow by Lindsay Faye. I really enjoyed this book, and gave it 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. The book is about Sherlock Holmes and Watson trying to solve the case of Jack the Ripper. A Brilliant idea, I can't believe no one has written yet! Lindsay Faye did an amazing job writing the dialog of Sherlock Holmes. I found it a little hard to read in the beginning, I think Sherlock is easier to watch then to read, but I got the hang of it. Sherlock is not only super smart but I thought he was very likeable as well. I liked all the characters in the book, except for the Ripper of course. I also feel like I learned a lot about the White Chapel Killings and that particular time in London. The story is written from Dr. Watson's point of view, and he writes about the crime scenes in great detail. Some parts are quite gruesome. The ending has a clever twist. You do find out who the killer is, unlike in real life. I'd recommend this book to Sherlock, historical history, and mystery fans. It's worth the read!
