The Whitechapel Murder Mystery - Rob Hamilton

[The Grave Maurice]

I've been on 'oliday I 'ave, and the last place I ended up was Halifax (no, not that Halifax, the one in Nova Scotia) and, at a charming secondhand bookshop, I came across a copy of this novel for only a buck. I suspect that, given its date of publication, it was discussed on the pre-crash boards; but, if it was, I missed it.

Rob Hamilton, The Whitechapel Murder Mystery. Kaleidescope Press, 2006. ISBN 987-1-84728-856-1.

A fascinating little novel it is that includes many of the characters associated with the WM, e.g., Tumblety, Lusk, LeGrand, Kidney, Maybrick, and Cutbush. And all of this served up with gallons of Earl Grey. The plot (I shan't give away the details) centres around an attempt to assassinate the Prince of Wales and Bismarck.

Anybody, besides me, read this?

[The Grave Maurice]

Bump.

So, just for clarification, can I now take it that I am the only resident of Ripperdom who has actually read and/or owns this book? If that's true, I'm going to move it from the general collection and put it on my rare book shelf.

Oh, and I now notice that I spelt "Kaleidoscope" incorrectly. My apologies to the publisher.

I have to admit I had never heard of it. Is it worth tracking down?

[The Grave Maurice]

I rather enjoyed it and I was hoping for a second opinion from somebody.
