Publisher's Summary:
In this series of five short stories, Holmes and Watson continue their late investigations into dark crimes in 1920s London, joined by their excitable housekeeper at 221B Baker Street, the brilliant, buxom Miss Lily Hudson, and by Jasper Lestrade of Scotland Yard, the ambitious, respectful son of the late George Lestrade. Thanks to Royal Jelly, Holmes is a fit 72-year-old who has lost his interest in bees and returned to detecting, joining forces again with his colleague and friend, Dr. John Hamish Watson, a 74-year-old unfit twice-widower, who hankers after the good old days of derring-do. Together they explore the case of the Shepherds Bushman when a dying aborigine finds his way to 221B Baker Street; the Acton Body-Snatchers and the disappearing boy sopranos; the Notting Hill Rapist and the stripping of pregnant women; the Clapham Witch, who casts her voodoo spells on sad old men; and the Battersea Fetishists, a secret brotherhood with some truly murderous rituals.
Members Reviews:
Holmes and Watson persevere in their declining years
Although third in a series, this is the first of Mr. Littleâs books I have encountered. From what I gather of its predecessors (based on reviews), the author has conceived a grim, if plausible, family history for Sherlock Holmes to explain his personal peculiarities. Abandoning his bees in the mid-1920s, Holmes reunites in Baker Street with Dr. Watson, where they reside with updated versions of (Lily) Hudson and (Jasper) Lestrade. Mr. Little is a facile and effective writer with an interest in ciphers. His casesâwhich abound with murderous Masons, pedophile prelates, renegade royals, and even a witchâare cleverly plotted and uniformly entertaining. One incorporates two legends of the British monarchy familiar from the films From Hell, Murder by Decree, and Mrs. Brown. Yet, it is a timeworn and melancholy universe that Mr. Littleâs characters inhabit. His portraits of the aging detective and his even more decrepit Boswellâbickering bitterly as they cope with their infirmities, each other, and the modern worldâmay leave some readers yearning for the comforting Victorian milieu of Conan Doyle.
More cases that were rejected by the Strand!
Now they can be told!
My thanks to Steve and Timi at MX Publishing for my review copy of this book. You are the custodians of all things Sherlock Holmes!
This is the second volume in a series that began with The Musical Murders. As I said in that review, the secret of how these stories were found is a solid one. They were written by Doctor Watson, submitted to the Strand and rejected. Because of their content, they were hidden away in Baker Street, discovered only when it was remodeled.
In these stories, Holmes and Watson are in their early seventies and have moved back to 221B. Mrs. Hudsonâs niece Lily, (newly married to Jasper Lestrade, son of Holmesâ old sparring partner and also a policeman) is their housekeeper and landlord.
