This is a departure from what I am used to reading but I'd figure I'd try something new.
The frightened man is a mystery about the revival of Jack the Ripper. It takes place in London, of course, and is set in the early 1900's or late 1800's is my guess. This case is grudgingly taken on by a 'Sherlock Holmes' type of character, although he is an American in this book. The book is intriguing and you won't see the end coming. It lacks the creepy atmosphere that comes with mystery books BUT Cameron does make his characters real. I can actually picture them in my mind in certain situations.
I did get a bit confused with the dialogue in the beginning because Cameron kind of throws you into the story with no warning. All in all it was a good read and I have decided to read the sequel called "The Bohemian Girl".
2 1/2 Stars
Happy Reading!
