My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Within these pages are
five stories told by Dr. Watson about his pal Sherlock Holmes. Five short
stories about small jobs that Holmes (and he) have solved. The writing does a
wonderful job of pulling me into not just each story but that particular time. I
have not read all there is to read about Holmes and I haven’t seen more than a
couple tv shows/movies, so I am no expert on the subject. All I know is I love
this collection of tales detailing jobs of no big consequence to Holmes, but
extremely important in the grand scheme of his work. No job too big or small as
long as it piques his interest. These are right up his, and my, alley.
5 STORIES
The Holborn Toy Shop
The Legacy of Doctor
Carus
The Train From Plymouth
The Whitehall Papers
The Grosvenor Square
Furniture Van
Do they have the flavor of the original Homes stories? I like the idea that they are small jobs as those can be just as interesting and help fill in the blanks.
ReplyDeleteI believe so. I'm no Sherlock expert, but they seem very original.
DeleteGreat review. I wasn't familiar either but I still found the stories awesome _ @mzbrooklynjayreviews
