The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Cat, Volume 4
A humorous cozy mystery starring the world’s most famous detective, and his cat. Volume 4
Sherlock Holmes’ crucial new case is one he must solve, if he is to retain his standing as London’s Greatest Detective. His investigation begins with an ocean voyage to the Americas. Cats do not favour water. His feline detecting companion, Cat Watson, is no exception, so he is not a happy cat. A broken-hearted, and soon to be very seasick, Dr. Watson is an unforeseen, last-minute addition to their detecting party.
The ocean crossing is not smooth sailing. One might even call it a catastrophe. Sherlock discovers a prominent scientist harpooned to the main mast. His investigation into the murder is hampered by the ship’s captain, who has gone quite bananas. Alas, he is not the only one. The cause of the odd affliction is yet another mystery to be solved, on a ship that is riddled with riddles.
When a violent gale blows the ship far off course, a host of new mysteries, and possibly a werewolf or two, welcome Sherlock Holmes to otherwise friendly Canadian shores. It is almost as if they have been prowling the water’s edge, waiting for him to wade ashore and solve them.
How many mysteries can one detective solve in one fell swoop? If that detective is Sherlock Holmes, who knows, eh?

What happened?
After reading books one through three I was so waiting for this next addition. After getting through the first few chapters, I was scratching my head, wondering what the heck is going on? Her writing is still the same, but the storyline is absolutely hysterically horrid! I don’t think you can write anything more goofy than this story. All three stories encompassed in this book were so fantasy far-fetched silliness. I just don’t know what she was thinking when she wrote this. I’m not sure if I’m waiting for the fifth book or not. Just out of sure wonderment if it will get back on track with the Sherlock feel that the other ones had. It’s sad I wasted a whole year with anticipation for something this goofy and far fetched!

Not her best
I usually enjoy these light SH tales. But this one.... She makes up absurd names for key characters and much dumb adolescent humor. And she diverts greatly from the original in her disrespectful portrayal of Dr Watson. Why ever did she choose to make him appear so stupid, self-centered and unprofessional?! It is very disturbing.
I like her innovative stories, but I am left with a bad taste after this one. And since her next book will likely focus on the search for Dr Watson, I doubt I will like it either.

Great series
I have already read 4 books of this series. They are great stories. I love cat Watson , John Watson... Not so much. He is a big oik, and I do not know how he hasn't got them all killed! I like how the stories are told by Sherlock, and Cat Watson. Interesting spin on Moriarty being a very naughty Siamese cat. As much as John irks me, I hope they find him safe and well. Looking forward to book 5.

Exciting, enteraining, hilarious!
I love this book and the series and wish it was picked up by Hollywood and made into movies or a tv series! It combines the intellect of Sherlock mysteries and clever deduction, with the wit and humor of Mel Brooks. The added Cat Watson, who seems smarter than most humans, just makes me hope for more stories to come! Please, MORE!!
