The Writer's LibraryThe Sherlockian by Graham MooreMy rating: 2 of 5 stars This one’s going to be difficult to review… but I shall press on… So I debated for some time over whether this novel should even be under the Project Sherlock moniker, but ultimately decided to keep it under the project because it pays homage to […]
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas MeyerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars What started out as a simple novel about helping Holmes to battle addiction quickly turned into a much larger struggle and I have to say that it captivated me. I pitied poor Holmes. I felt like I knew where he was coming from. I […]
The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls by John R. KingMy rating: 2 of 5 stars This novel fought hard for the position as my favorite Holmes pastiche – a position that currently belongs to a novel commissioned by the Conan Doyle Estate (of which there are two books and I’m not revealing which one is my […]
Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson by Lyndsay FayeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Well. The crime was the of the darkest nature I’ve ever seen Holmes take on. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep anything down for a while. Joking aside, this was good, […]
The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. KingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I definitely enjoyed this. Mary Russell, a dauntless heroine, is likable despite her character flaws when matched up to Sherlock Holmes. It took her longer than I expected to decipher a message left by the antagonist, and I see that as a flaw […]
Sherlock Holmes End Justifies? by Cavenagh Tom CavenaghMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Well. I did not see that ending coming, and that redeemed the book significantly in that I was able to award it one more star. I wish I could say that this book is on-par with the likes of Anthony Horowitz, but […]
Biplane by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “What shall I be, this moment?” I’ve been an avid Bach reader lately. I’ve read everything from Johnathon Livingston Seagull to A Gift of Wings. Bach’s Zen-like prose touches someone like me and seduces me into following the story through to the end. There is always […]
Nothing by Chance by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Unlike Richard Bach, I may never know the true freedom of flight. I used to think that flying was mainly commercial, that there was no way it was a hobby for anyone. Yet if you have the good fortune to fly a small, simple […]
Moriarty by Anthony HorowitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Internal screaming No, wait. Give me a moment. I’m not done yet. Screams more. What the heck did I just read? I’m afraid this review won’t do the book justice. This story is like a rollercoaster with twenty loops. I felt sick on it…. and I loved […]
The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel by Anthony HorowitzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I keep reading the preface in Martin Freeman’s voice now. Oh, God…A novel that takes a beloved character and puts a different twist on him/her can be tricky territory. The readers scrutinize the character and make sure it stands […]
