Publisher's Summary:

Three Compelling Sherlock Holmes Mysteries In One Book. Narrated by the celebrity actor Simon Prebble who is also known as an award winner for the best voice in fiction.

Story One: "The case of the missing Mayan Codices".

"I do not suppose that you have brought your revolver with you Watson?"I shook my head to indicate that my response was in the negative to his question. He turned his head forward again and led us through the kitchen, past several side pantries. As we cautiously inched forward, Holmes observed that the blood trail consisted of droplets of varying size. "Whomever it came from, they must have been applying intermittent pressure on the wound as they walked."

Story Two: "Murders on the Voyage to India".

Murder; "Murder." The scream echoed down the hallway shaking me from my slumber and into the dim vision of the electric lights. Someone was banging on the door and Watson scrambled to open it. I was bleary- eyed, still feeling a bit desensitized when Evelyn Reed burst in to the door. Her hands were covered with odious red, and tears streaked across her reddened face. "There's been a murder!" She repeated.

Story Three: "The Heist".

"Gentlemen, I am here to represent the interest of Henry Bank and Trust. We would like to resolve the situation quickly and quietly, so that all the investors can move forward with a minimum of anxiety." Holmes sat across from her, studying her with a nonplussed air. "I must admit" he said, "that I do not know how to assist you. Inspector Lestrade was here earlier, and it appears that you are missing nothing and they have no thieves in custody. When the bank emptied today, everything was in place, except for the criminals."

Members Reviews:

Not up to the original.

Very wordy but nothing note worthy. Not up to the original Sherlock Homes.

You can tell where the story line is headed.

Fun Read Sherlock Flies!

Sherlock Holmes The Flight Collection by Pennie Mae Cartawick delivers a lovely and accurate sensibility concerning Sherlock and his side kick Watson. Is it the power of being born in England that brings the language so easily to match that of the times and power of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Whatever the talents that tip the scale this is a lovely read.

The first two stories resound with originality in their plot lines.

In the first, a Mayan codex weaves with a group of mythical texts called the Dresden Codices, a museum curator sits bleeding, his reputation on the line because it is believed he stole the valuable texts, and Holmes finds a cigarette butt outside the curatorâs home, a butt that provides valuable information for solving the mystery.

Here is one of the strongest points of Cartawickâs writing. Attention to detail, and fully described detail provides the reader with an stable sense of setting, characters and action.

In the second story which takes place on the high seas several murders occur. The wrap up to the plot is swift with a few interesting details provided by an albatross and a turtleâs shell.

The third story reads startlingly like a movie in which the bank thieves enter the bank but do not exit; no money is taken and none of the hostages hurt.
