Dust and Shadow by Lyndsay Faye Book Summary
From the gritty streets of nineteenth century London, the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson offers a tale unearthed after generations of lore: the harrowing story of Sherlock Holmes’s attempt to hunt down Jack the Ripper.
As England’s greatest specialist in criminal detection, Sherlock Holmes is unwavering in his quest to capture the killer responsible for terrifying London’s East End. He hires an “unfortunate” known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper’s earliest victims; and he relies heavily on the steadfast and devoted Dr. John H. Watson. When Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel during an attempt to catch the savage monster, the popular press launches an investigation of its own, questioning the great detective’s role in the very crimes he is so fervently struggling to prevent. Stripped of his credibility, Holmes is left with no choice but to break every rule in the desperate race to find the madman known as “the Knife” before it is too late.
A masterly re-creation of history’s most diabolical villain, Lyndsay Faye’s debut brings unparalleled authenticity to the atmosphere of Whitechapel and London in the fledgling days of tabloid journalism and recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most beloved and world-renowned characters. Jack the Ripper’s identity, still hotly debated around the world more than a century after his crimes were committed, remains a mystery ripe for speculation. Dust and Shadow explores the terrifying prospect of tracking a serial killer without the advantage of modern forensics, and the result is a lightning-paced novel brimming with historical detail that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Conan Doyle's Voice. If I didn't know better I would swear I had just read the latest from Sir Arthur himsef!
Could have been better. As a huge fan of Sherlock with a long term fascination with the Ripper, I often wondered what would happen if the two crossed paths. The read was enjoyable and faithful to the Holmes canon, but ultimately I was a little let down by the "solution" of the Ripper mystery. It's a huge challenge for any author, and while I respect that, I would have liked more exploration of the psychological element. The final showdown was abrupt and unsatisfying. The repeated injuries to the primary characters seemed limiting to the flow of the story. Not a bad effort by any means, but it could have been better.
Good Tale. Good story told by Watson. Somewhat predictable but enjoyable.
Dust and Shadow. I am a life long Sherlock Holmes fan and I completely enjoyed this book. Lyndsay Faye captures John Watsons voice so perfectly that you would swear that the book was written by A.C. Doyle. Highly recommended.
Fabulous. An amazing book and so much fun to read. Holmes & Watson speak and interact as though written by Conan Doyle and the Ripper story is well told. I felt myself back in 1888 London and enjoyed every minute.
Dust and shadows. This was an awesome book!
Terrible!!. The dialogue bears no resemblance to that of Doyle. Barely understandable. Instead of researching by actually reading Doyle, the author chose to take a deep dive into the most obscure and unintelligible Victorian usage of the English language. I would normally give a book of this poor quality one star and move on. However this was so bad it demanded a commentary
