Publisher's Summary:
Once again, hidden on the fog shrouded streets of London are heinous criminals set upon their nefarious schemes. All that stands in their way are two men, stalwart and unafraid to take on villainy in all its insidious disguises: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. In this, the ninth entry in this best-selling series, the crime-solving friends tackle five brand new mysteries that are totally different to any of their previous adventures. Among these: An entire crew of a shoreline lighthouse vanishes during a raging storm, one of Watson's old army colleagues is accused of murder, and a former Baker Street Irregular seeks out their aid on behalf of his crippled father. These three cases and two others are brilliantly delivered by writers I. A. Watson, Fred Adams Jr., Erik Franklin, and Aaron Smith, proving once again there is only one Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective.
Members Reviews:
This is volume nine in the ongoing series by Airship 27. There are five short stories in the book. All are very well written!
The Consulting Detective Series Marches On!
âThe Adventure of the Failing Lightâ by IA Watson opens the book with a bang! This is the true story of the missing lighthouse keepers on Eilean Mor, off the coast of northwestern Scotland. The keepers were discovered missing without a trace in December 1900. The Flannan Isles Lighthouse had been inoperative for some time, endangering ships. The only permanent residents of Eilean Mor were sheep. This is what may have happened if Sherlock Holmes had been consulted.
âThe Adventure of the Three-Strand Garroteâ by Fred Adams, Jr deals with Holmes investigating a series of murders. Wiggins brings the case to Holmes because his Uncle and his Uncleâs friend, both wounded veterans of the Afghan War, are suspected in the deathsâ
This story is runner-up and honorable mention, as far as I am concerned!
âThe Betrayalâ by Erick Franklin finds a friend of Watson, a fellow veteran of the Afghan War and also wounded at Maiwand, accused of murder. Watsonâs gut feeling tells him that his friend is innocent. Holmesâ investigation has the suspicion of guilt being a probability of guilt. The two friends clash, neither backing down.
âThe Adventure of the Picked Pocketâ by Fred Adams, Jr deals with a problem most unusual. A man has evidence of a crime lost from his possession when a pick-pocket decides on him for a victim! Two crimes, one victim, and a deadly ending make for naming the story second runner-up!
âThe Adventure of the Brazilian Beetleâ by Aaron Smith takes âBest in Book!â from me. An artist makes a chance acquaintance of a young Brazilian woman in Highgate Cemetery. The woman has agreed to pose for the artist but fails to keep the appointment. While attempting to find her, he discovers a carved silver beetle she wore as a brooch lying in the street. He could have never suspected what the investigation would ultimately uncover!
The book is a fine addition to this wonderful series! I give it five stars plus!
