Sherlock Holmes and the Blind Beggar

by N.J. Edgar

Holmes and Watson return.

When Lady Cassandra Ives arrives at 221b Baker Street, she is agitated and afraid. A terrifying spectre is haunting her, appearing in the dead of night and she fears for her sanity.

Lady Ives believes the spectre is that of an unnamed man who died on her estate a year before, accidentally shot after he burst from the trees during a hunt. He was known only as the Blind Beggar.

Sherlock Holmes, the world’s only consulting detective, and his faithful ally Dr John Watson are invited to Blight Manor to uncover the truth. But that, when hidden within layers of long buried secrets, becomes as fiendish a challenge as catching smoke. Terrors await when darkness falls.

[Delores Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book that I've read by this author that's based on the Sherlock Holmes character and he did a great job of portraying the true personality of Sherlock. I've read ALL of the Sherlock Holmes books by Arthur Conan Doyle who created the personality of Sherlock. Some of the other authors who've tried to recreate the personality of Sherlock Holmes in the books that they've written have FAILED, but this author did NOT fail and his rendition of Sherlock was spot on. I read this book in two days.

A very good story! Author makes a very good recreation of the style of the original "canon", reminiscent of stories which have their origin in some far-flung outpost of the empire. One of the best of this genre I've ever read!
