3.0 out of 5 stars Mild mystery, never fascinating 20 Jun 2008
By Inspector Gadget VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
The last of Conan Doyle's Holmes stories go out on a whimper I'm afraid to say with very little atmosphere, defining moments or spellbinding mystery. It's safe to say that Sir Arthur was bored of the character by this point and grudged bringing him back from the dead after his tussle with Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls.

I know I am repeating myself, I mentioned this in a review for a previous book but it's clear Conan Doyle was running out of ideas. With only eight stories making up this book (a couple of them less than 20 pages) he still ends up being quite repetitive and pretty much condenses his Holmes novel 'Valley of Fear' into a short story called 'The Red Circle'.

The final story has a bittersweet, if unremarkable, ending and has very little story or point to it. Many writers have kept Holmes alive over the years with various books, radio plays and films and have done so with more affection than Conan Doyle. He created one of the most popular characters in history but thought so little of him.

4.0 out of 5 stars His last short stories 6 Aug 2009
By Marc Deschryvere
Format:Paperback
HIS LAST BOW, as the title suggests, is Sir Arthur C. Doyle's final book of the reminiscences of Dr Watson on the world's greatest detective.
SHERLOCK HOLMES hasn't lost anything of his powers of deduction and analysis.
Some pearls are to be found here : THE BRUCE PARTINGTON PLANS, in which brother Mycroft appears for the second time (since the case of the Greek interpreter), an amazing crime-story about trains & lost documents.
In the same book you'll find THE DEVIL'S FOOT, a short story that takes place in Cornwall, this time about drugs (the kind that kills people in a few hours).
And finally, HIS LAST BOW, Holmes'contribution to the war effort.
Marc
