The Singular Adventures of Mr Sherlock Holmes

Review: The Singular Adventures of Mr Sherlock Holmes is a very enjoyable collection of fifteen stories by an author new to me, Alan Stockwell. The style is an acceptable simulacrum of Dr Watson's, and Mr Stockwell clearly knows his period and his Canon. He also has an engagingly inventive imagination. I particularly liked his explanation of the case of Mr James Phillimore, who, stepping back into his own house to get his umbrella, was never more seen in this world."
