Jack the Ripper Falls In Love

SWORD AND SNAKES by Mark Lumby is nothing like his previous stories. I'm not impressed with the author's take on Jack the Ripper. Much of the story is a series of long-winded conversations, separated by drawn-out thought-monologues, with very little action. This novella lacks the creativity and suspense I've come to expect from Lumby.

If you want to know what the author is really capable of, I recommend THE DEBT or RATS IN THE LOFT.

As always,
