A bit of a strange adaptation of a comic book story from the 1960s. While the setting has been adapted to the modern day (cell phones, wi-fi, a passing mention of AIDS as a medical consideration, etc.) the dialogue and character development seems like it was taken straight from the pages of a Silver Age comic book. In a 2018 novel it really doesn't seem unreasonable to expect a little more depth, a little more meaningful an arc for some of our key characters.

Good Nancy Drew feel, especially in "Writ in Stone", but the artwork was rather uneven.

Ripper is about a young boy named Carver who becomes involved with the famous detective agency "The Pinkertons". He was an orphan who eventually finds out his dad is the one doing all the Jack the Ripper style killings that have been happening in New York. It's a very gripping page turning book but it lacks originality. The author wrote it very well but it lacked something content wise for me. I could imagine this being one of my favorite books if I read this as a kid. 3 stars
