Sherlock Holmes: A Detective’s Life Reviews

4.0
“When I was in middle school, I had an opportunity to spend two weeks on a local college campus doing something dubbed "College for Kids". I took three classes. One was on writing; one was a play and the third was (hopefully you knew where I was going) about the master detective himself: Sherlock Holmes. I had been a lifelong fan of the character and am always a sucker for anything featuring him. This collection of short stories spans the entire length of the Great Detective's life. Of course, reviewing a book of short stories is always hard. Did I love all of them? No. Was I entertained by them all? Yes, and that is the best result you can have from a collection of stories. I will be very interested to read more Sherlockian fiction from several of these authors and I will continue to grab as much as Titan Books wants to publish. Special Thanks to Titan Books and Edelweiss Plus for a digital ARC.”
