Jim, based on your recommendation I got a copy from the library. I'm about 80 pgs in & enjoying it so far.

Hope you keep enjoying it. I found it a good read.

They say he could have been Jack the Ripper.
When Holmes built what was to be his hotel he served as his own General Contractor. No architects or structural engineers were involved. Construction projects always shut down during the winter months; they had not yet learned how to work thru the winter. It was during the winter months in Chicago of 1889-1891 that the Ripper murders took place. So far this book only speculates that Holmes could have disappeared for the winter & committed the murders in Whitehall.

It's a good read!

It's officially Halloween season. And these kinds of things get me all giddy right now.
