Did Sherlock Holmes Creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Know Who Jack the Ripper Was?
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 02, 2014 -- Madsen's compelling novel takes a close look at perhaps why Conan Doyle never chimed in on the Jack the Ripper murders. After all, he was known to help in other cases prior to the Whitechapel murders but apparently was silent about the infamous serial killer case.
Madsen cleverly uses Sherlock Holmes’ own method about the curious dog in the night-time theory in the book. In Conan Doyles “Silver Blaze” concerning the disappearance of the titular race horse, Gregory, a Scotland Yard detective asks, “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?" Holmes responded, "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." Gregory then said, "The dog did nothing in the night-time." Holmes then replied, "That was the curious incident."
Madsen weaves an interesting tale with cold hard facts about the Jack the Ripper case. She wittingly uses methods based from Doyle’s own Sherlock Holmes character. Madsen proclaims, “I have always loved mystery novels and been a true fan of Conan Doyle so, it only seemed natural to write about something that has been a part of my life since I was a child.” Madsen’s research concerning the Jack the Ripper case along with information she learned regarding Conan Doyle and the supposed notes he left behind all made for a good mystery read. Catherine Lanigan, author of Romancing the Stone & The Jewel of the Nile said, “It's spellbinding, intriguing...the best book I've read in a long, long time.”
