The Early Casebook of Sherlock Holmes series #4
Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper
Another eerie mystery from Sherlock Holmes’ early casebook! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, Anthony Horowitz and classic crime fiction.
Sherlock Holmes must pry the secrets from a dead man…
London, 1877
When medical student Mr Stamford is visited by his cousin, Lily, he is disturbed by the sinister tale she relates.
Lily’s friend, Una, has recently inherited an old country house and settled down to married life in Coldwell, a small Essex village. However, Una’s letters to Lily indicate that she is alarmed by her new husband’s secretive behaviour — especially when she discovers a gun in his drawer, tucked inside a Persian slipper. Fearing for her friend’s safety, Lily asks Stamford to pay Una a visit.
To his dismay, Stamford arrives in Coldwell to find that Una’s husband, John Clark, has been found dead, lying in bed with a gunshot wound in his chest. Close examination reveals that the bullet was fired from Clark’s own gun, through the toe of the slipper.
Stamford loses no time in alerting his acquaintance, Sherlock Holmes — an artful young sleuth — hoping that he can shed some light on Clark’s death.
As Holmes and Stamford begin to probe Clark’s past, it soon becomes obvious that he had plenty to hide. And when Holmes hears of further suspicious disappearances, he starts to search for the connection between the sinister mysteries…
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PERSIAN SLIPPER is the fourth Victorian crime thriller in the Early Casebook of Sherlock Holmes series.

The title of this book immediately evokes the Persian slipper Holmes uses as the repository for his shag tobacco. I believe it will be an integral part of the mystery that Holmes and Stamford must solve. When reading Sherlockian literature, it is wise to remember to observe everything as a clue.
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PERSIAN SLIPPER is a case that truly falls close to home for the intrepid Holmes and his young friend and chronicler Arthur Stamford.
Stamford is escorting his attractive cousin and friend since they were babies, Lily Hargreaves, around London. He takes her to Bart's where the opportunity to introduce her to Sherlock Holmes presents itself albeit in the circumstance of Holmes dashing to the chemistry laboratory. They agree to meet for supper that very night. The relationship between Lily and Arthur is like that of sister and brother, and Stamford senses something amiss going on with Lily. When challenged, Lily unburdens herself about her concerns for her dear friend Una Clark, née Kenrick and her sudden marriage to John Clark. Arthur promises to visit Mrs. Clark to ascertain her wellbeing. Unable to persuade Holmes to accompany him, heads off to Coldwell, and Spring Cottage where he is greeted by suspicious village folk and a dead John Clark. Holmes does join his friend and the bereaved widow, and as is often remarked, the game's afoot.
Clues are found. Suspects questioned. Several different arrests are made. Another body is found. The twists and turns are innumerable. Notwithstanding Inspector Mackie's obstinate clinging to his theory of the moment, Holmes manages to pull the threads surrounding the death of John Clark to refute each of them. Sargent Lestrade makes an appearance in Coldwell that adds a new dimension to the case. With Scotland Yard now in charge, Holmes has a police ally.
The deaths finally resolved to the satisfaction of the police and Scotland Yard is not good enough for Sherlock Holmes. He continues his inquiries until he is content that the case is well and truly concluded, and he receives a token of appreciation from the widow.
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PERSIAN SLIPPER will keep you guessing to the very end.
Once again, I recommend a cover-to-cover read so you don't miss the historical information at the end. As will tales from the canon, you can read this series without regard to order, but Linda Stratmann does make mention of cases earlier in the series.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Sapere Books for an advance copy of Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper, the fourth novel related by Arthur Stamford to feature the early career of Sherlock Holmes.
Stamford’s cousin Lily is worried by letters she has received from her friend, Una Clark. Mrs Clark has inherited a property in Essex and got married, but she is perturbed by her husband’s secretive behaviour. Lily presses Stamford to visit to make sure all is well, but when he gets to Coldwell Mr John Clark has died in the night from a gunshot wound, fired from his own gun through the Persian slipper it was kept in. Fortunately Sherlock Holmes is able to come to Essex to investigate.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper, which has a wonderful mystery and a suitably convoluted solution. In the spirit of Conan Doyle’s originals the story is told years after the events took place, in this case by student doctor Stamford, who is rather more starstruck than Watson. I like the sense of homage.
I’m not quite sure how to describe the novel. Obviously there is the murder of John Clark, but there is also the question of who he actually is and that takes up a fair amount of the narrative, because his wife knows nothing about him, except that he was kind and they were happy. I found it engrossing as the secrets come tumbling out. Some are guessable, but others come as a surprise, especially the killer’s identity and the motive behind it. I was blindsided by that one and the very Victorian way it was revealed.
The plotting is clever and the execution is good with a steady stream of reveals and more questions to be answered. I found it to be quite light hearted in its approach in that there is the odd dash of humour, a touch of irony and the theatrical absurdity of John Clark.
Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

Tea, toast, and warm slippers before a roaring fire; a comfort read of a novel.
It is quite some undertaking to step into the shoes of Conan Doyle and breath new life into his legendary creation: detective, Sherlock Holmes. But within the first few lines any trepidation I might have felt, melted away like frost in sunshine.
The premise of this incarnation of Holmes is as a young man, learning the craft of detection, but not yet a fully fledged detective. We are escorted into his world by fellow student, Stamford, a prototype Watson. The story involves Stamford’s cousin, Lily, who receives worrying letters from a school friend, Una, concerning her new husband. Stamford decides to pay a call on Una, but arrives only to find her husband was murdered during the night. But this is not straightforward crime as it occurred in a locked cottage with only Una and the housekeeper present. With the police labelling the wife as the prime suspect, Stamford calls on Holmes fledgling sleuthing powers to find the real culprit.
I devoured this book over a couple of nights. The author held me in a safe hands, and I was able to cosy up on the sofa with the curtains drawn against the night, to immerse myself in the world of Stamford and Holmes. At no time was did I feel jarred by this evocation and Doyle’s world felt totally respected. This imagining of Holmes’ early life was skilful and I look forward to reading more in the series.

Medical student Mr Stamford sets out to visit his cousin’s friend, Una, who has been sending letters detailing a concern for her new husband’s behavior. Stamford arrives at a house in shock: the husband was shot dead by his own pistol. Immediately, Stamford summons his acquaintance, Sherlock Holmes, to make sense of the sinister mystery at play.
This was a delight to read! I really love this author’s take on how a young Sherlock Holmes might have handled his early cases. And, as always, Stamford is an excellent foil for the budding detective. There is even a touching moment when Holmes admits that he is Stamford’s friend, an admission he seldom makes.
The case, on first glance, seems straightforward. Who killed John Clark? There is no trace of a break-in. But it soon becomes more complicated as Mrs. Clark admits she doesn’t know much about the man she married. With the official police investigator eager to believe the obvious answer, that the wife killed her husband, Holmes has to untangle many threads to get to the truth.
Readers who enjoy tales of Holmes as a young man will surely continue to enjoy this series.
I received an advance copy of the book from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own.

I absolutely loved this book - as a big Sherlock fan, I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed by this.
I was really pleased to find that this was written in such an authentic style to the original Sherlock stories and although some aspects were altered, it still felt as though I was reading an original.
We meet Sherlock in the very early stages of his sleuthing career and as such there was no sign of Watson just yet. Instead, he was accompanied by Stamford, whose cousin presents the pair with a very intriguing case to solve.
Lily was worried about her friend who was recently married. Stamford went to check things were well and finds Mr Clark (the husband) recently deceased....and so the investigation commences.
I loved that, for Sherlock, the investigation was thwarted somewhat because the pair were so junior and had no authority or history of Sherlock's name yet, so any clues had to be grabbed at any opportunity. This made it even better when clues, theories and solutions were found.
I had plenty of theories about what had happened and in some cases I was right - but as with all Sherlock mysteries, the joy is all about the process.
Great story and brilliantly written - absolutely loved it!

I had not read any of the prior books by this author, and so I was concerned about starting with #4 in the series. No issues there...while a couple of things were mentioned it really did not affect the readability of the book.
These are based on Sherlock Holmes in his student days, before he met Watson. As such, there is a different character, Stamford, who is also a student and who aids Holmes in his investigation. In this one, Stamford goes to visit Una Clark, a friend of his cousin Lily. Her letters to Lily indicate that she is alarmed by her new husband's behavior. Lily asks Stamford to visit and check on Una. When he arrives, Una's husband John is found murdered, in bed. Naturally Una is the top suspect. Stamford asks Sherlock to join him and investigate.
I found this book to be well written, the plot was interesting, and the outcome totally satisfactory. The book kept my interest and I found some of the laws of the day regarding marriage and property to be very interesting. I'd certainly go back and read any prior Holmes books she has written, as well as bookmarking her for future installments.

Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper by Linda Stratmann is another engaging instalment in her Early Case Files series, offering readers a classic Holmesian mystery with a fresh narrative voice. This time, the story revolves around a clever locked-room mystery, one of the most challenging forms of detective fiction, and Stratmann handles it with impressive control. From the very beginning, the puzzle is intriguing, and as Holmes and Watson begin their investigation, the layers of the case slowly unfold.
What makes this novel particularly compelling is its strong character development. Each suspect is given depth, motives, and secrets, which keeps readers guessing until the end. Rather than rushing toward the solution, the plot allows tension to build steadily through new revelations and hidden connections. The atmosphere of Victorian England is well preserved, giving the book an authentic Sherlock Holmes feel. Overall, this instalment is a satisfying blend of suspense, clever plotting, and classic detective charm.

Arthur Stamford is pressurized by his cousin Lily to visit an old friend of hers
who has written letters which indicate that allwas not well in her very hurried
marriage. Arthur arrives at Coldwell to find he is a bit too late. John Clark is
dead shot with his own pistol found lying by his bed. No forced entry, neither wife
nor housekeeper heard the shots, no strangers loitering around and the first
suspicion falls on the wife once the police get their hands on the letters she wrote
to Lily.
Stamford persuades Sherlock Holmes to come to Coldwell and pursue the case. It is not
the usual Holmes classic. John Clark is really not Jihn Clark, but several characters
rolled into one. The reveals come slowly and the actual murderer was a total surprise.
How it was done was quite convoluted too.
A Holmes and Watson is good and in this case Holmes and Stamford was an equally good
combo.

Thank you, Linda Stratmann and Sapere Books, for access to the early release copy of the book.
The book is well written and flows along nicely. The book recounts earlier a case in an earlier time in Sherlock’s life. The plot is well imagined and is consistent with expectations for a Sherlock Holmes story, with the exception that there is no Dr. Watson because the story predates when Sherlock meets Dr. Watson. In Watson’s place is Arthur Stamford, who is also a good companion and confidant to Sherlock.
I also appreciate the author including background material at the end of the book to show some of the Sherlock Holmes chronology. Clearly, she has done her research.

I'm always interested in any alternative take on the original Sherlock Holmes stories, which is why this caught my eye.
When I read a book like this one, I know what it is I'm hoping for, and in this case, the story met my expectations. It felt original, but at the same time, retained the classic feel of Sherlock Holmes that I was hoping for, and it was a very light, easy read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

An interesting novel following in the footsteps of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The author does a great job of keeping true to the characters from the original writings. The story itself is intriguing and will hold your interest. Overall, a good story that will hold the interest of the mystery enthusiasts.
Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

A good entry in the series. The mysteries for Holmes to unravel are twisty and there are plenty of surprises to go around. The final resolution surprised me which is something I really enjoyed. The pacing was steady and kept my interest. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Wonderful!
I really enjoyed this one!
At first everything seems straight forward, then convoluted, then straight again. A real spinner with some really good red herrings. Love Stamford...

This is the first book by this author that I have read. It was one of the few books that I dismissed all my work to sit down and finish the last few chapters. It was an excellent read with well-developed characters and a storyline that kept you guessing till the end. I enjoyed the way it was written as a story being retold. I don’t usually like a lot of description but this was written in a way that made it interesting and was not overdone. A very enjoyable read and I hope to read more by this author. I received this as an ARC from Netgalley and freely give my review.
