The Conan Doyle Notes: The Secret of Jack the Ripper uncovers clues as to why the dog did not bark in the night....

Sherlock Holmes concluded that it was because the intruder was known to the dog. Madsen’s new mystery questions whether the identity of one of the greatest criminals of all time, Jack the Ripper, was deduced by Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle was already famous with his popular Sherlock Holmes stories when Jack the Ripper struck London in October 1888. So why was Conan Doyle silent about this case? This thrilling adventure may well hold the key....

Good story

This is an interesting story with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed the main story about the hunt for ACD’s notes as well as the revelations of the notes. I disliked the main character Dee Dee. Some of the things she did were do spectacularly stupid and illegal that I almost stopped listening to the book. The narration was great. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

twist and turns

Great Narration, a story that twist and turns even more than a Sherlock Homes story; Loved It!

A good story

This was a good story and a good mystery, although I didn't manage to sympathize with any of the characters. Actually, I disliked D.D. quite a bit, TBH.

But, as I said, the mystery was good and it kept me engaged until the end. And having the sherlockian quotes at the beginning of every chapter was fun :D

The narration was good, too, except for chapter 54 that seems to have been completely overlooked when it was time to edit.

So, good entertainment but I don't think I'll be revisiting this series.
