Sons of Moriarty and More Stories of Sherlock Holmes
A follow-up collection to well-received The Perils of Sherlock Holmes. Award-winning author Loren D. Estleman has curated a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories from some of the finest authors in Sons of Moriarty and More Stories of Sherlock Holmes.

Sons of Moriarty was a good way to spend my time, and as I am very fond of saying, time spent with Mr. Sherlock Holmes is rarely wasted. A lot of the stories in this volume have been anthologized elsewhere so I am sad to say I had to endure a few rereads. There are some gems here including a tale written by Conan Doyle's son, and a novella detailing Holmes' conflict with the Mafia which was very interesting. The prize must be Conan Doyle's own story, The Field Bazaar, which is rarely included in collections of Doyle's own Holmes stories as it is more of a vignette than an actual tale. I do not recall having seen it before, and if you are interested you can find the entire thing online.

A great collection of short stories linked to the sons of Moriarty; Sherlock's nemesis.
An easy read with some surprises along the way.

This is a collection of short stories written by several different authors all based on one of my favorite detectives, Sherlock Holmes. Being a fan of Conan Doyle's original work, I tend to be a bit critical of other authors who write stories with Holmes and Watson in them. I have been pleasantly surprised many times by authors who have done these characters justice, and I have also been really let down. This book has both good and bad stories in it, but mostly I didn't care for the short stories. The first one, The Infernal Machine, by John Lutz was pretty good, but that was it.
The second story in this collection entitled The Adventure of the Double-bogey Man irritated me so much I almost couldn't get through it. The biggest issue I had with this was that the author, Robert L. Fish, changed the names of the characters. Instead of Sherlock and Watson it was Schlock and Watney. Also, this story has Holmes's brother Mycroft in it, but again the name was changed to Criscroft. I know this is the author's choice, but it really bothered me. Part of me hopes that since I have an ARC of this that it was just a mistake. However, with how many times these names were used I would guess this was intentional. So if you are going to read this when it comes out be forewarned, I still hope this is changed once published.
What is it with changing the character of Watson from John to Jane? CBS did this in their show Elementary, but as a long time fan of Doyle's work this really irritates me. I'm not saying that women can't be amazing detectives, but Conan Doyle wrote the character as a man, and I feel when the characters are changed to this extent they no longer are writing a Holmes story. Right off the bat the third story, The Case of the Bloodless Sock by Anne Perry, frustrated me almost as much as the previous author who changed all the names. I guess I am a bit too critical, but if you are going to write a Sherlock Holmes story try to do the character some justice. That's just my opinion though.
The only thing I did really like about this collection is the title novella Sons of Moriarty by Loren D. Estleman. He is the only one to really capture the essence of Holmes and Watson. I could easily see this being a story that Doyle would have written himself. This story takes place much later than The Cannon, and Holmes and Watson are older men. Lestrade is even trying his hand at politics, so it is an interesting spin on what life would have been like had Doyle continued further.There is plenty of mystery to the story, and Holmes and Watson are still at their best.
I would like to give this 3 stars just because I did enjoy the title novella, Sons of Moriarty, but I disliked the other stories so much I will have to say I am being generous rating this 2 stars for the whole collection.

This book of stories was authorized and licensed by the Estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so I was expecting a quality set of traditional type Sherlock stories.With the exception of The Deptford Horror by Adrian Conan Doyle, I was very disappointed with this collection of stories. They were so boring and unimpressive. I'm a Sherlock purist and I tried my best to appreciate these stories as they take Sherlock out of the box, so to speak, but I could not overcome how forced and predictable each story was. The Deptford Horror story was the gem of the book. It was pure Sherlock and exciting to the very end.

I have to be honest and say this was the first Sherlock Holmes book I've read! I've been more of a movie/tv series Sherlock fan myself, but after reading this I think I will have to branch out and read some real Sherlock.
This was fun, interesting take on the dynamic duo and I enjoyed it for what it was. And considering I've never read an Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock, well, I guess maybe my opinion won't hold much credence with some!

Another solid collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, with a pretty diverse cast of writers, including Anne Perry. There is an unfortunate parody story (never liked goofing on topics that are self evidently ridiculous), but the final Estleman novella "Sons of Moriarty" makes up for that flaw.
The stories run a wide range of different topics, all of them better quality than most post-Doyle Holmes tales, even if they vary somewhat in greatness. The level of excellence in this book is generally lower than the previous two collections, but the final story mentioned above is a fine addition to the canon and is worth the purchase price alone.

Excellent follow up to editor’s first collection of Sherlock stories. His own novella, Sons of Moriarty, has Sherlock and Watson facing the Mafia and causes them to go to New York’s Little Italy for the case.

Highly disappointing. A copy is never as good as the original. For my money it's still Arthur Conan Doyle is the one and only true voice of Sherlock Holmes.
Avoid.
Avoid.

A bunch of stories of Sherlock and a novella at the end. I enjoyed the book and it was a fast read. The novella is properly done the best.

++A collection of Sherlockian stories with a complete novella by the editor. If you are a Holmes fan you will find some very different viewpoints in these stories. I especially liked a long letter written by Lenore Carroll (as A.C.Doyle) to the editor of the strand & answering a question about how he came to dream up his principal characters.++

Don’t let “The Sons of Moriarty and More Stories of Sherlock Holmes” fool you. Its definition of what constitutes a Holmesian tale is so broad as to be meaningless in this collection of seven short stories and Estleman’s title novella.
Let’s take the traditional stories first. John Lutz’s “The Infernal Machine” has Holmes and Watson investigating the murder of a nobleman. The machine in the title is a Gatling gun, which was brought over from America to sell to a nobleman with connections to the British Army. When he’s found dead of multiple gunshot wounds, the weapon’s owner is suspected. It is a traditional mystery, decently told, even if the solution seems a little far-fetched.
The other two stories evoke the Holmesian charm but with flaws. “The Deptford Horror” by John Dickson Carr and Adrian Conan Doyle suffers from being a clone of “The Speckled Band.” Estleman’s “Sons of Moriarty” occupies half of the book. A follow-on to “The Six Napoleons,” the Italian daughter of a Mafia assassin comes to England to take his body home. When the government denies her request, her appeal to Holmes triggers a clash with the Mafia involving opera singer Enrico Caruso, a voyage to America, several assassination attempts, and a showdown on board a ship. Estleman evokes Holmes’ world and keeps the story moving, but after reading it twice, I’m still not sure why the government would care where an obscure man is buried, or why Watson lives in fear of the Mafia for the rest of his life.
“The Field Bazaar” was Conan Doyle’s brief contribution to a fundraiser in 1896 by his alma mater Edinburgh University. At the time, Holmes had been “dead” for three years, and there were hopes that the story would come from Dr. Watson’s bulging case files. Instead, we’re treated to a kind of meta-fiction. In the same way Holmes “read” Watson’s thoughts in “The Cardboard Box,” he deduces that his friend had been asked to contribute to the same Edinburgh fundraiser as Doyle. While not quite a parody, once can’t really call it a story, either. The only true parody, “The Adventure of the Double-Bogey Man” by Robert L. Fish, is marred by the obviousness of the joke. Nothing spoils a joke like an obvious punch line.
Anne Perry’s “Case of the Bloodless Sock” recasts Holmes and Watson as American teenagers, changes Watson’s sex as well, and has her investigating the repeated kidnapping of a girl in a Colorado town. Al Sarrantonio’s “Sherlocks” uses Holmes’ name for a device that is perfect at solving crimes, and asks how a private detective can make a living when he is no longer needed.
Of all the stories, only Lenore Carroll’s “Before the Adventures” is consistently excellent, as Watson describes in a letter to his editor at “The Strand” how he was inspired to create Holmes. Those who count Sherlock among the living will take offense, but the story is charming and inventive.
So of the eight stories, there are only three in which the detective plays a starring role. Including the novella, they take up the majority of the book. The rest are parodies, sci-fi and young adult reworkings, and a alternative-universe prequel; a mixed bag in tone and intent that could disappoint readers expecting a volume in which it is always 1895. Follow Holmes’ example: examine the clues carefully before deducing if you should read it.

This book contains the novelette Sons of Moriarty and seven short stories by various authors. Some of them have been published in many anthologies, but some I had never read before.
“The Infernal Machine” by John Lutz I have read before. The infernal machine in question is a Gatling Gun. The Edgewick brothers are seeking to sell the weapon to Sir Clive Oldsbolt to manufacture the guns for the British Army. Then Sir Clive is murdered, shot seven times, and the Gatling gun was heard by the witnesses, but not seen. To make matters worse, Landen Edgewick was engaged to Sir Clive’s daughter. Her sister is engaged to a man named Robby Smythe, who is involved with one of the first combustion engine automobiles. He hopes this will be a great investment in the future. Then there is the mysterious Major Ardmont, who is visiting Sir Clive…
“The Adventure of the Double-Bogey Man” by Robert L Fish was a new experience for me. Told with light-hearted fun, it is a Schlok Holmes mystery. Any more would spoil the story…
“The Case of the Bloodless Sock” by Anne Perry is another I have read before. A little girl goes missing, and is later found in an alley. A note arrives from the kidnapper who says he can take the child at any time he chooses, and advises the father to sell his stock in a particular company. The girl vanishes again, and is agin returned. Holmes is on the case…
“Sherlocks” by Al Sarrantonio is a new treasure for me. Taking place in an unspecified near future, machines called “Sherlocks” are taking on much of the work of CSI. PI Matheson, having had his caseload fall by 60% due to these little tentacled machines, is called into the case by notes and bank drafts. You see Matheson still believes in old time detective work…
“The Field Bazaar” is a short piece by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from 1896.
“The Deptford Horror” by Adrian Conan Doyle, son of the great author, pits Holmes against something unseen. Two people have died in their rooms. They had weak hearts, but were otherwise healthy. Then there are the traces of soot scattered around the room—up the wall, across the ceiling, and down again in strange whorls…
“Before the Adventures” by Lenore Carroll is—well, in this case I will just say read it! It is too good a twist to say more.
“Sons of Moriarty” by Loren D Estleman takes place in 1903. An Italian beauty, Magdalena Venucci brings the case to our duo. The odd thing is that she goes to Watson’s home and surgery instead of 221B, as she has been told by someone that Holmes is there.
She proves to be the daughter of Venucci the assassin killed by the mysterious Beppo in “The Six Napoleons.” She wants to take her father’s body home to Italy, but everyone from Scotland Yard to the Home Office is stonewalling her. Il Casa Negro, the Black Hand is involved and the danger cannot be more deadly—until a descendant of an old foe tries to even the score for their parent…
I give the book four stars…

Excellent collection of short stories (and one novella) published in 2013 and edited by veteran mystery writer Loren D. Estleman. I think Estleman is a much better short story (and novella) writer than novelist and after reading this you might think the same.
Sherlock Holmes fans may recognize a few of these stories from other Sherlock Holmes anthologies. Fortunately, these stories are good enough to read again and again. And no wading through other writer's crap stories to get to Estleman's.

Another interesting set of stories by the editor/author of the Perils of Sherlock Holmes. My favorite story was the one written by Doyle's own son. I felt he really captured his father's characters well and the story was exciting and fast paced just like I like my Holmes and Watson. There were a few misses in here, the novella "Sons of Moriarty" didn't grab me enough to finish the book and the pun laden Holmes story wasn't really all that funny either. While a new Holmes fan might enjoy this book it is really written for a hard core Baker Street Irregular.
November 27, 2014
A misleading title for a bland collection of Sherlock inspired tales, this second volume of "approved" works provided about an hours worth of enjoyment. The titular selection was a passable tale, despite the fact that the villain was neither plural nor a son of Moriarty. The other enjoyable tales in the collection were available previously in other collections, and those which I had not read before were lackluster. One story did not even feature our heroes, which seemed against the point of the collection. After the excellent first volume, I was disappointed.
August 22, 2014
This was about what I expected. With varied authors--and varied levels of actually relating to Sherlock Holmes--I was more fond of some stories than I was of others, and so it was an uneven reading experience. However, it is fascinating to read all these homages to the great detective, and to read how dead-on some of the portrayals are. If you're a fan of Holmes, Sons of Moriarty is worth a read.
January 16, 2015
Like any collection of short stories (especially collections featuring stories for various authors) my enjoyment of the stories varies.
Sadly, in Sons of Moriarty, it was the more courageous authors, roaming far from the traditional Holmes cannon, that I found the least enjoyable.
By itself, the ending novella, which lends it's name to the compilation, is worth the time to read the whole book.

After the solid writing in Loren Estleman's The Perils of Sherlock Holmes, this collection of stories by other authors fell rather flat. There weren't enough truly enjoyable stories to make it a satisfying read. However, I did really like Before the Adventures by Lenore Carroll. Watson's letter to his editor explaining how he created Holmes has the tongue-in-cheek feeling of the movie Without a Clue. This single story redeemed the whole collection enough for two stars.
April 17, 2015
I liked some stories more than others, but that always seems the way of things when I read Anthologies. However, Loren D Estleman's story at the very end was my favorite. By the time I finished I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to reading the next book of Sherlock stories that Mr. Estleman has coming out.

A collection of eight stories based on Sherlock and his sidekick, Watson. Three of them I enjoyed quite a bit-the rest, not so much. The book opens with a short story by novelist John Lutz and also contains an entry by Anne Perry. The bulk of the collection belongs to the story, "Sons of Moriarty". These three make reading the book worthwhile.
Read
January 3, 2014I didn't care for the first several stories; they were too different from the original Sherlock Holmes tales for my liking and not what I expected. I would have given up on the book in its entirety, but the last story caught my attention and I really enjoyed it. The ending left something to be desired, but for a short story, it wasn't bad and it had the flavor I was looking for.
August 8, 2013
This is a delicious collection of Sherlock Holmes tales from writers past and present, and includes a satire and a futuristic tale, as well as the
more traditional Baker Street stories we grew up on and still relish. This is a terrific read.

Interesting collection of short stores and a novella by the editor where Holmes and Watson take on the Mafia. Some work better than others but the novella was worth the price of admission.
April 13, 2014
After viewing the superb three seasons of Sherlock, I looked to this collection of stories to satisfy my need for more. While a bit uneven, the last story ( which is the longest) was terrific.
July 2, 2014
Really great! One by ACD's son, some modern AUs... all very good.
November 14, 2014
I read all but one of the stories and enjoyed each one. I look forward to reading The Perils of Sherlock Holmes next.
February 25, 2015
I enjoyed many of the stories, but found a few lacking. My favorite was Before the Adventures. I found it imaginative and very fun.
July 21, 2015
Good reading for fans of all things Sherlock.

Short stories and a novella. Good but nothingreally outstanding.
September 16, 2015
The title novella was wretched, but I enjoyed most of the short stories.
