The Redacted Sherlock Holmes #5
The Redacted Sherlock Holmes - Volume 5
Five sensational Sherlock Holmes stories by Orlando Pearson followed by three meditations hinting at the most radical theory yet about the Great Baker Street Detective.
A Type of Infamy - Holmes investigates a mysterious disappearance in 1938;
The Fourth Student - shocking events in the worlds of athletics and medicine;
A Question of Time - Holmes, Churchill, and Realpolitik at Britain's finest hour;
The Sleeper's Cache - the sequel to the Bruce Partington Plans with Machiavellian manoeuvring by Mycroft;
The Other Woman - Holmes's second female nemesis and a musical discovery; and
Three Holmesian Meditations - an investigation into the true nature of the enigma that is Sherlock Holmes
Mr Pearson's previous works have been hailed by the Church Times as "Clever, thought-provoking, and terrific fun". This description applies just as aptly to this latest collection.
A must for traditionalists, lovers of crime fiction, and anyone who likes a thrilling read.

This collection of so-called traditional pastiches contain~
1. A Type of Infamy: Interesting premise, but appalling execution, with anachronism ruling the roost.
2. The Fourth Student: Juxtaposing Holmes onto so-called real life left only a bitter aftertaste.
3. A Question of Time: Another effort on part of the author to somehow fuse Holmes into the England of Second World War.
4. The Sleeper's Cache: Fairly boring stuff.
5. The Other Woman: Trying to project one of the boldest and bravest women in modern history as a Holmesian nemesis turns out only as a poor attempt at misogyny.
6. Three Holmesian Meditations: Watson goes daydreaming and gives us the only amusingly interesting work of the book.
I am not sure how long I can keep up with this series. But let me see.
