'Thomas's imitation is wryly and subtly done.' Guardian


Product Description

'Thomas's imitation is wryly and subtly done.' Guardian

Following the success of The Secret Cases of Sherlock Holmes, a new group of unpublished tales of real-life crime is presented by Dr Watson from the documents in the famous tin-box. For example, what were Holmes's views on one of the most infamous murderers of the 20th century, Dr Crippen? And what happened when Oscar Wilde visited Baker Street to seek advice? What grim discovery did Holmes and Watson make when investigating the bizarre scandal of naked bicyclists in rural Essex? How did Holmes uncover a loving husband as one of the most dangerous psychopaths of modern times? And just what horrors await the pair in the darkened slums of Waterloo Road . . . ?

Relating Holmes's part in real-life crimes of the day, Donald Thomas brings the Great Detective to life once again in six narratives displaying Holmes at his most determined, inventive and downright devious . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Sherlock at his best, 9 Aug 2002
This is another brilliant collection of short stories by Donald Thomas, which places Holmes at the centre of the action of some real life Victorian mysteries. Some of the cases may be familar to readers, (especially the one that Holmes does not take up in the introduction), while some are obscure today even though they were national news at the time.

Holmes and Watson are wonderfully written, and we can forgive the authors tampering with history to bring us these little gems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the same book, 17 Jun 2007
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes and the Running Noose (Paperback)
The one star is not to do with the stories or style in which they were written. I enjoyed them a great deal when I read the collection of stories "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice from the Crypt". I enjoyed them so much I ordered this collection thinking it was another collection by the same author.
No they are the same stories. Different title. So watch out. If you already have this book don't get the other.
