About this listen
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....

It’s all there and I don’t dislike it, but it didn’t quite hit the mark.
I didn’t bond with the characters and therefore when DD McGill, the main protagonist, got into scrapes and dodgy situations, as well as heart warming moments, I should have been eager to see the outcome, and while I still wanted to know what happens, it wasn’t with bated breath.
Part of me wonders if a female narrator would have made a difference for me. I cannot find a fault with Adam Blanford’s enunciation or speed of reading and he has a very pleasant voice, but there was a certain lack of intensity of emotion that would be evident in a woman’s voice.
While this does sound quite negative, the story itself was interesting and it was engaging enough for me to want to find out how it ends.
I received this book in audio book format free from the author and am leaving this review of my own volition.
Interesting story
