    After reading my first Kindle book, I really wanted to share. This book was interesting enough that I found I could not put it down! Or shut it down! Love the marriage of past & present, so creative. It made me think AND enjoy at the same time. Beautifully done. Bravo!

    Really enjoyed Bloodguilty, could not put it down. It sounds so real, I kept wondering if the author knows more than he is telling us? I really liked the way the past and the present merged together to tell this story. Great book!

    1.0 out of 5 stars I Guess Shlock Sells
    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2003
    It's hard to do this book justice. Let's start with a few quotes:
    "I opened the cover to the first page, brown with age but clearly very readable in a smooth handwritten style that shouted out the date of the first entry ... November 1, 1888."
    "My mind's eye peered deep into the smoky veil of time which
    cleared as I read on."
    "In 1940 world war appeared to be evident."
    "The man ran back to the sedan, firing at us continually until he was safely in the sedan which was already speeding away from the rest area into roadway traffic."
    Discerning readers may wonder if these lines aren't misplaced submissions to the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest: On my honor, they are not. ('Sic' to all, by the way.) Nor were they selected after a complete read; how could anyone do that? They were chosen at random when (after starting the first chapter in the belief that this was a credible Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes pastiche) I realized the truth: this is an amazing book and its merits should be appreciated more widely.
    Especially among those considering buying it. In a word (okay, just a few): Don't, unless you teach creative writing and want between one pair of covers, examples of every fault known to the craft. This may not be the worst writing ever published, but it is way the worst I've ever seen.
    This book had not only an author but a publisher and most amazing of all, an editor. I cannot help wondering: Why?
    The premise is on a par with the writing. But I won't reveal it. See, I'd have to read a lot more to figure it out, and I've got more important stuff to do today, like empty the kitty litter box ... even though I don't actually have a cat. Okay, just a minor part: Adolf Hitler was a direct descendant of Moriarty.
    Possibly I've missed the point: This could have been intended as a send-up. If so, it's a marvel of the genre, and in millenia yet to spring flaming into golden (or otherwise) existence, bringing with them yet untold events, it will become a cult classic, with fans forcefully proclaiming across the many centuries their favorite lines.
    In that case, I like "In 1940, world war appeared to be evident."

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper - and the consequences
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2000
    There is nothing unusual about another Sherlock Holmes novel - not even one in which the Great Detective is pitted against the best known uncaught criminal of the nineteenth century, Jack the Ripper. Where 'Bloodguilty' varies from the pack is in that the Holmes portion of the book is only about one-half; the rest is taken up with the twentieth century consequences of the actions of the Ripper.
    The story revolves around a diary of Dr. Watson kept hidden by the Baker Street Society, who "both guard and insure the immortal continuance of the world's greatest consulting detective and his faithful chronologist, Dr. Watson." The good doctor has specified that this diary not be released until 100 years after the last entry. And now it is time to reveal the truth about Sherlock Holmes and the man who was known as Jack the Ripper...
    But, the legacy of the Ripper lives on, and will stop at nothing to prevent the truth getting out.
    Fairly well-written, the story doesn't contain too many twists and turns that can't be predicted, but exactly what tack a particular author would take with this kind of story isn't predictable. Raymond Thor produces a creditable effort, but not one that is not necessarily superior to other efforts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars BLOODGUILTY WOW!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2000
    This was one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time. I was caught up in it from the first page and couldn't put it down! I just had to find out what was going to happen next. The story is a little terrifiying because it seems so plausible. The author guided me through each chapter with just enough to keep me wanting more. Now that's a great book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is going to be a bestseller!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2000
    In a great novel, Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper are presented in a most unusual way. The author cleverly forms the foundation of a mystery that spans a 110 year period. The story begins in 1888 and ends in 1998 in the deserts of Southern California where the mystery is finally unraveled. This book kept me on the edge of my seat!

    1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2000
    The plot is a REAL WINNER, but oh I wish that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had written the actual book itself! There are more typos and grammatical errors and clumsy phrasing here than the worst first draft I've ever had to proof read! It's a pity, because these things really get in the way of the rest of the text, which is a bit feeble in its construction anyway. As said before, the plot is a really exciting sort of "Indiana Jones meets Sherlock Holmes", but the writing got in the way!
