IN THIS SIX-BOOK BOX SET:
THE ODYSSEY OF SHERLOCK HOLMES TRILOGY
BOOK 1: SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE UNHOLY TRINITY
A sword-wielding Bedouin interrupts Holmes and Watson at breakfast. “Stay out of the affairs of my people,” he warns. “Or face the consequences.” Elsewhere, Cardinal Tosca is slain and robbed of an ancient scroll. What secrets does it hold? And do they run too deep for even the world’s most famous detective to unravel?
BOOK 2: SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE FOUR-HANDED GAME
A tormented translator, an assaulted actress, a murder with the hallmarks of Jack the Ripper. Holmes finds himself faced with an unprecedented spate of cases. Yet these crimes are the work of a single deadly adversary. Has London’s most celebrated sleuth finally met his match?
BOOK 3: THE ILLUMINATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
Holmes and Watson journey to Bavaria, through icy mountains and secluded castles, in hot pursuit of their quarry. But their man eludes them. And the duo must return to London, knowing that an old adversary awaits them craving deadly revenge on Holmes. Just how far will they be willing to go to get it?
THE LOST FILES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES SERIES
BOOK 4: THE LOST FILES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
Dr John Watson reopens his tin box of chronicles, offering up seven exhilarating new accounts of Holmes’s extraordinary skills. What is the connection between murderous attacks on a colonel’s wife and the Legend of King Arthur? Why is a disgraced ship captain stalking his neighbour? Who stole the statue of The Dying Gaul? Find the answers in this gripping compendium of adventure stories.
BOOK 5: THE CHRONICLES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
Delving into the depths of his memory, Watson reveals a collection of never-before-penned cases brought before the great Sherlock Holmes. Join the beloved British detective, as he is pitted against a selection of seven truly ingenious puzzles.
BOOK 6: THE ANNALS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
In this gratifyingly perplexing anthology, Watson finally discloses the details of mysteries tantalizingly alluded to but never before unravelled. Is a mother really speaking with her drowned daughter from beyond the grave? What connects a politician, a lighthouse and a trained cormorant? Why is the depth to which the parsley has sunk into the butter dish so vital a clue?

Wonderful!
I don't know if it was because I was in a Sherlock Holmes mode, but I thoroughly enjoyed these books! I'd already gone through the originals and it was very gratifying to find more stories with the voice of the canon.
My only beef with these is no pictures, the constant smoking ( really, the older characters didn't smoke that much, if so it wasn't mentioned so much), and several redundant points for Watson. I got the impression he complained a bit much when his feelings got hurt. He and Holmes seemed to have some of the same conversations.
Otherwise, I loved this read. The stories were great with the classic Holmes drama and fantastic mystery.
Definitely a keeper for my library.

These were entertaining stories. I'm not a 'Sherlockian', nor do I possess the expertise to say whether or not the works are true to Sir Arthur's creation. But they do read well, the stories move along, and I enjoyed the cross-referencing across the 6 books of the volume.
For any Sherlockians out there, is there a data store anywhere that compiles all the various Authors' works in a timeline or topical listing?

A Faitful Depiction
Each of these six books in this set was enjoyable. The first three, while they can stand alone, are also connected to each other and make for a rousing good read. The latter three each contains a separate group of cases. The author has captured Conan Doyle's Sherlock very well. Highly recommended.

So many engrossing stories@
There is no way I can commend each of these many stories. So I will simply say that my admiration of Mr. Gilbert's imaginative writing, along with his respect for the classic Holmes stories, continues to grow. I look forward to reading many more of his creations. Highly recommended.

I have to say that for anyone who really enjoyed reading the ACD stories, this set of continuing adventures is something to read as well. It is much better than some of the stories written by others that I have read in the past. Do yourself a favor, and get it!

Paul D Gilbert - 3.5 stars for this omnibus
The characters, Baker Street and all the trappings of Sherlock Holmes and Watson are delightfully portrayed by Gilbert. I would get moments whilst reading that Conan Doyle was writing again and that is such a skill.

Holmes lives on
Gilbert breathes new life to our detective hero with period perfect settings and diologue used to bring stories worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Dolye himself. A twist at every turn of the page with well developed plots.

Excellent Holmes Stories
The author takes pains to accurately document locations and activities in the Victorian period of Holmes' life. Watson recorded both the facts and emotions present in the cases.

Good read
Mr. Gilbert's respect and appreciation for Conan Doyle is evident with every story. He showed knowledge in the source material. Very enjoyable read.

Spot-On
Every bit as delightful as reading the original. Taking on cases that were mentioned in Doyle's works was inspired. His rendering of the characters is spot-on.

Paul D Gilbert does a wonderful job of re-creating Sherlock Holmes, right down to the Olde English narrative by Dr Watson. Great reading.
