"Waste" (please) End Horror!
a nice read
Better Than the "Seven-Per-Cent Solution" This story appeared first in Play Boy, and the book is a longer revision of that one. The story is about Murders that haunted the west end. Of course Sherlock Holmes cannot hold back when there are murders nearby. The good thing about the book is that Mr. Meyer does not claim that any of the manuscripts provided by Doyle were forgeries. The bad thing is that he still uses real characters, like Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and Bram Stoker, which I still say is dumb. One other thing I hate about these pastiches is that they insist on saying that Watson was a real person, and that he used to publish his work under the pseudonym Conan Doyle, or else that Conan Doyle was the agent under whose name Watson used to publish works. I realize that this is one way to make things continue, but come on, we all know that we are only fooling ourselves. Anyhow, I think the book might deserve 4 stars if not for the little drawbacks I mentioned above, and I am sure you are going to enjoy it, but try first to get it from the library, just in case you detested it.
Gotta love Sherlock!
A slight let-down As a postscript, although the story does begin with a stabbing death in London, and although the synopsis on the book cover does point out that the killer is nicknamed "Jack," readers should be aware that this is NOT a Jack the Ripper novel. ... Read more |

Entirely Satisfying.
I, on the contrary, enjoyed it. . .
"Canary Trainer" for the birds as far as Phantom concerned
A Satisfying Tale for the Holmes Fan.

Editorial Review Product Description The major adaptations of all of Conan Doyle’s literary works are fully covered here, plus a 1927 one-reel documentary in which the author talks about his work and his psychic beliefs. The focus is on how faithful the adaptations are to the author’s own work and the overall effectiveness of the film. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description "What a splendid book, what grand fun! A corking good read and a crackling good adventure that performs the delicious miracle of bringing back to life the greatest detective of them all." (Chicago Tribune) Customer Reviews (7)
Well-paced, well-written mystery
Delightful addition to the writings about Holmes but the movie was better
Enjoyable to almost the end
It's wrong to detract from the original legacy. Meyer deals masterfully with Holmes's cocaine addiction by taking him through detox in the home of Sigmund Freud.During his reovery, he and Watson stumble into a mystery which ends with a stunning ly written train chase and fight. Unfortunaely Meyer deflates the legendary Professor Moriarty and in the process rewrites the History of Sherlock's death and disappearance.
Elementary, my dear Freud Holmes emerges clean, sober, and distanced from everything, and part of his cure to jerk him back into reality involves bringing him into the case of a young woman Freud is treating for symptoms of hysteria.A quick survey of the patient is enough for Holmes to realize that some dicey doings are afoot, and that this is just the tip of the iceberg, the iceberg being a plot to involve all of Europe into a continent-wide conflagration.But just as Freud is impressed with Holmes' crime-solving abilities, Holmes is impressed with Freud's ability to read the perpetrator's mind, and he gives Freud what is meant as the ultimate compliment: "You have taken my methods, observation and inference, and applied them to the inside of a human head."(Actually, Holmes's methods were observation and deduction, but who wants to cavil here?)Holmes, Watson and Freud work together to solve the problem, and the payoff is Freud's request to hypnotize Holmes in order to be able to see into his head.What's inside there is a revelation, and as Meyer explains Holmes to us, we understand his solitary life, his avoidance of women, his loathing of Moriarty and why he chose his singular profession to begin with.Meyer's book is great fun and fairly accurately follows the narrative style of Dr. Watson.Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery; Conan Doyle would have loved it. ...
