Product Description

A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper by Brian L Porter tells the story of Robert Cavendish, a modern day psychiatrist who is bequeathed a strange set of papers which purport to be the journal of the long-dead infamous Whitechapel Murderer whose crimes gripped the hearts and minds and instilled terror on the streets of Victorian London.

As he begins to read the journal, Robert becomes convinced of it's authenticity and finds that the words of the Ripper have a strange and compelling effect on him. Unable to cast the pages aside he finds himself being drawn into the dark and sinister world of the killer until he is unable to distinguish what is fact and what is fantasy. In short, Robert Cavendish begins to feel as though he is being taken over in some way by the soul of the long-dead Ripper. What happens as he progresses through the journal will disturb and shock the reader as the close dividing line between sanity and madness is explored to the full.

Format:Paperback
This book was such great fun, and facinating on several levels - I learned a lot about the actual cases, which I really should know better about, coming from London! - but even if I'd known all the history, I loved the way the author blended the old in with the new, drawing the reader along with the narrator's own discoveries. It was a great, easy style to read, and I think the book's strength was the way Brian L Porter rolled out the storyline at the same pace as the narrator's own reading of the journal, letting us 'be' him as we read on...
But no more from me or I'll give the shocks and excitement away to you all! :)

I was lucky enough to win this excellent book, otherwise I would have bought it anyway!! It grips you from the off slowly building up pace until it becames like a rollercoaster ride, one which keeps you entertained and unable to escape! The plot steadily builds up to a great crescendo and all the charectors are well written. If you read only 1 Jack the Ripper Fiction book, make it this one!

Bloody awful!!
I don't think I've reviewed a book on here before, and I've bought a fair few. But this novel is so over-rated, I felt some sort of moral obligation to warn you. Read more
