Merchant of Menace: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure | Richard T Ryan

I‘m super excited to have my Kickstarter thank you package from @Richryan52 in the house! He‘s graciously allowed me to blurb his two recent books, and now I‘ll have all four to read. These Sherlockian mysteries are fantastic!

mom2bugnbee @Richryan52 I LOVE your title "The Vatican Cameos"! ? Made me immediately think of BBC's Sherlock. ? 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Richryan52 You‘re welcome! I loved the card you enclosed as well. Old NYC is so fascinating and lovely. 6y

Dead Man's Land | Robert Ryan

so-so

The premise sounded intriguing:
During WW1 John Watson works as a front army doctor and has to solve a murder. I thought the balance was a bit off. The story is told from different POVs and at the beginning Watson got short shrift. Holmes has only a small role in this, because he and Watson are estranged (can that trope die, please? Try something else for drama). It got better and I might pick up the sequel, still only a so-so.

The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle | Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir

I found this beautifully illustrated pop-up book at book sale. The colors are amazing and the Blue Carbuncle is a favourite of mine. #sherlocked #sherlockholmes #drwatson #illustration #love #toast #blue #jewels #acd I'll post some of the pop ups so you can see it's awesomeness.
