Summary

A dazzling collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories, which sees the detective solving fiendish crimes, many involving methods beloved of Victorian murderers, poison by arsenic or cyanide, or even by venomous arachnids and reptiles.

The colourful cast of characters includes villains bent on vengeance, traitorous revolutionaries, unfaithful and greedy wives wishing to rid themselves of their husbands, unfaithful and greedy husbands ditto, gullible widows, charming seducers, and captivating con artists out to fleece the innocent.

Whether at a circus at Ramsgate, a magic show at London's Egyptian Hall, a deadly séance on Hampstead Hill, a pagan Celtic ritual in rural Wales or over genteel teas in elegant mansions, our intrepid detective, assisted as always by the long-suffering Dr Watson, stays hot on the heels of the criminals.

Susan Knight, author of the critically acclaimed Mrs Hudson Investigates series of books, ably takes on the persona of Dr Watson in these nine adventures, while remaining ever faithful to the canon.

Nice story but mysteries very basic

The author captures the spirit of the original novels and the stories move along nicely. However Watson is made out to be even more of a bumbling idiot than normal. You know what ever he says will be wrong and the mysteries wouldn't challenge Lestraud most are obvious a couple confess their guilt when we meet them and none have any unexpected plot twists. Easy listening but light on mysteries.

Sherlock returns.

This collection of 8 short stories by Susan Knight about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is great listening, Once started it is difficult to put down. A mixture of stories all about murder but with different methods. My favourite has to be the first one with the Circus but they are all outstanding in their own way, as is the narration of Michael Langan which is second to none.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review.
