Publisher's Summary:
Only the most intriguing mystery could lure Sherlock Holmes from the comfort of Baker Street in the winter of 1898...and it came with the ghastly murder of a gravedigger in the most bizarre of circumstances. Thus it was that Holmes and Watson travelled to the tiny German village of Darmstadt to unmask a callous killer with an even more terrifying motive...and all within the long, ominous shadow of Castle Frankenstein....

Sherlock Holmes investigates the curse of the Frankensteins
Autumn, 1898. Sherlock Holmes receives a letter from the Burgomeister of Darmstadt, Germany. The town's gravedigger was brutally murdered and one of his legs was surgically amputated. A little girl was the only witness, and she reported seeing a giant, hulking monster carry away the gravedigger. The Burgomeister's concern is as much for the reputation of one of his town's oldest families as it is for his townsfolk's safety. Soon, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on their way to the continent to unravel the mysteries surrounding the murder and the town's famous family -- the Frankensteins.
David Whitehead's SHERLOCK HOLMES VS. FRANKENSTEIN in the novelization of the screenplay that was written for the yet-unmade film (which, at one time, was to reunite YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES' Nicholas Rowe and Alex Cox as Holmes and Watson).
The story is a quick read, running about 40,000 words. Whitehead doesn't attempt the Watsonian voice, preferring to tell the story in third person (as there are several scenes that take place outside of Watson's presence). Holmes' investigation plunges Watson and himself into deeper danger as they threaten some of the town's secrets, and Whitehead's writing conveys an almost Hammer-esque atmosphere. Graveyards are investigated, the secret history of Mary Shelley's novel and the Frankenstein family are revealed, and as the novel nears its climax you'll wonder if the solution to the problems of Darmstadt is mundane or if there is something far more sinister and unnatural at work.
The only thing I felt the novel missed was a final chapter in which Holmes, sitting down in a comfortable chair and smoking his pipe, explains to Watson (and the reader) how he pieced everything together.
For a $1.99 on the Kindle, I was perfectly happy with SHERLOCK HOLMES VS. FRANKENSTEIN. It was properly atmospheric, Whitehead's take on Holmes felt genuine, and the story had momentum. I enjoyed it.
Highly Recommended!
When I heard that author David Whitehead was going to turn his attention to both Sherlock Holmes and Frankensteinâs monster, I knew it would be special. Davidâs considerable talent and passion for writing has produced an envious bibliography that includes Westerns, horror, suspense and even romance. David Whitehead is a powerhouse of talent. Sherlock Holmes Vs. Frankenstein was just as great as I thought it would be. I love being right. Based upon the screen story for a forthcoming film by Gautier Cazenave, readers will plunge into the traditional world of Holmes and Watson, and the set-up captures the feel of the original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. This wasnât surprising because David has co-authored several Sherlock Holmes tales with Steve Hayes.
