About this game
Ten new cases for the Consulting Detective system, including a four-case Jack the Ripper campaign that traces the real Whitechapel murders. Armed with a London directory, map, and daily newspapers, your group follows leads across Victorian London, interviewing suspects and piecing together clues. There are no turns, no dice, no board. Just reading, discussing, and deducing. The West End Adventures cases range from murder to espionage, each a self-contained mystery. Can you solve them with fewer leads than Holmes himself?
