Another 5 Star Review for 'A Study in Red'

[Brian L Porter]

My award winning novel 'A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' has received yet another wonderful review on Amazon, this time from US reviewer and author Ann B Keller. I'm delighted with Ann's thoughts on the book which read as follows:
5.0 out of 5 stars A Chilling Compulsion, June 6, 2009
By Ann B. Keller (Cleveland, OH USA)
A Study in Red begins with a mysterious warning, compelling the reader to read on. What follows is a horrific tale of butchery, bloodletting and madness, the tale of the secret journal of Jack the Ripper.

Page, by warm sticky page, Brian L. Porter compels us to follow as Robert receives a very old stack of papers upon his father's death. Puzzled and curious, he begins to read the odd journal. Sleep eludes Robert and he barely eats enough to stay alive as the journal of Jack the Ripper engulfs his fevered brain. Robert hears voices and sees shadows, even though he is quite alone. His study seems strangely cold, although the pages of the journal are unaccountably warm, as warm as blood, and for some odd reason, a queer London fog has gradually surrounded his house.

Is Robert going mad? Has the Ripper somehow found a way to cross the boundaries of time into the present? Reading the grisly accounts of the Ripper's murderous deeds would unsettle anyone, but what otherworldly force seems to have overtaken Robert? Somehow, he seems unusually close to the Ripper's story and to his own ancestor's apparent involvement with one of the most heinous murderers of all time. This is a story that will chill the heart and draw one in like no other. Perhaps you, too, will be compelled to open A Study in Red, to learn the truth of the secret journal of Jack the Ripper.
