Review: The Devil's Due by Bonnie MacBird

The Devil's Due is Bonnie MacBird's third Sherlock Holmes novel and I say up front that it is the best so far.

Review: Conan Doyle for the Defence

I was supplied with a free copy of this book for the purposes of review.

Sherlock Holmes Journal Winter 2017

I received the latest edition of The Sherlock Holmes Journal yesterday and I've been through it today on the commute.

Review: The Man Who Would be Sherlock by Christopher Sandford

I found this book a challenge to review. The problem, as with so many books in this field, is that it has been done before but that doesn't make it a bad book.

Lack of service

I honestly don't know if I have regular readers but, if I do, I owe you an apology.

Review: From Holmes to Sherlock

Yesterday I completed reading Mattias Bostrom's magnum opus From Holmes to Sherlock (I refuse to use the absurd UK title anymore).

Well I thought the first episode split the room but little did I know what episode two would do to the audience.

So we finally have series 4.

The opening episode - The Six Thatchers - has certainly split the room. Some loathe it and some love it.

The Sherlock Holmes Journal for Summer 2016 recently landed on doormats....

I ordered the DVD box set of Houdini & Doyle after learning I would not be able to watch more than the first episode otherwise. The review below contains minor spoilers which I don't think will affect your enjoyment if you read them. However, consider yourselves warned.

Review - Sherlock Holmes, The Missing Years: Timbuktu:
