Welcome to Litsy!

37/100 This series of "Further Adventures" of Sherlock Holmes are very hit or miss. I deem this one a definite miss. While the author does a good job mimicking the writing style of Conan Doyle, the story is kind of flat and the ending is seriously anticlimactic. Other SH stories, like The Hounds of the Baskervilles, had supernatural elements, but they were all explained in logical, reality based solution. I was hoping it wouldn't really be the ⬇️

A couple of Sherlock Holmes books I didn't go looking for yesterday, but which I found anyway! ?
I'm pleased to have added Baring-Gould's pseudo biography to my collection: it's a 1962 first edition and treats its subject as if historical, in best Holmesian tradition.
The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes is a 1975 review of "the many ways in which the entertainment industry has used, and misused, the best-known character in all fiction." ?

A fun way to revisit the first two seasons of Sherlock.

Picked up this lovely edition of Sherlock Holmes at B&N last week. 🤎

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

I read this one during Christmas Day. Perfect for that day. I enjoyed it. What I like is Holmes analytical thought process to make a conclusion and discover who committed the crime or the crime activity. I will say that it was a cliché who done it but it was good. I also like how atmospheric, descriptive the author was.3/3.5 ⭐️

This was my first “Sherlock” book. Do not rely on me to solve any crimes 😬. I gave it a so-so because I‘m not a huge mystery fan.

I have little detective skills, but I am proud of my point check in number: 13,758! 🥳

This SH fan was not disappointed by this novel. Attention was given in keeping the writing style and our beloved Holmes and Watson as close to Doyle's intent as possible. Perhaps Sherlock is a bit more condescending to Watson, but Watson definitely holds his own and his skills as a doctor are needed almost as much as SH's detective skills. A Gothic keep where a supposed Black Thurrick-Krampus demon is running amok, this is a worthy holiday read.

It‘s no Hound of the Baskervilles, but it‘s pretty good. Didn‘t know what to expect as it is a pastiche & I‘ve read limited amounts of the originals, but I am a fan. but it was festive & enjoyable, I think it was true to the characters & had some good twists & silly Sherlock Shenangians.
