writersrelief's review against another edition
4.0
If you’re looking for a quick, suspenseful read that takes a few liberties with history, then you’ve found your next book! In 1888, a heinous killer is terrorizing London’s seedy streets. At the same time, Bram Stoker, a young writer and manager of a local theater, is involved in a stage production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But when the police begin to suspect the lead actor of committing these monstrous murders, the show is shut down. Stoker becomes determined to find the actual killer. What Stoker doesn’t realize: The murderer, now calling himself Jack the Ripper in his letters to the police, is looking for Stoker too.
In this tale that mixes reality and Randisi’s clever imagination, Stoker’s close friends include Sir Arthur Cannon Doyle and Oscar Wilde. The plot is fast-paced and intriguing, all the while keeping readers guessing. It’s always fun to image how literary and historical figures could interact with other.
