Summary: A gripping romp of classic Victorian mystery and horror
Review: A must for any Holmes or Conan Doyle fan, "The List of 7" is a spell-binding tail introducing Doyle's inspiration for his fictional consulting detective. Well written and replete with dry British wit, the story moves as fast as its characters are forced to run from the evil chasing them. Characters often interract with historical figures and facts, pressing the reader to accept fanciful if not believeable conspiracies. As a fan of mystery and Holmes, I highly recommend this book to get the blood pumping, the mind working, and the game is afoot

Summary: An excellent and dark mystery that has an interesting spin!
Review: This tale of Arthur Conan Doyle and his years prior to his fame is exciting, inviting and really worth your time. As you are propelled through a dark and sinister Victorian England, excitement, action, and intrigue draw you into the story. Many actual historical figures creep into the plot and as you will see, Holmes and Watson had an interesting birth. This is a must read for any Sherlock Holmes fan.

Summary: A good read
Review: This was an excellent book, and a twist, having Conan Doyle and Jack Sparks be the adventurers-and inspiring the creation of Sherlock Holmes. We also get a glimpse of the future in the eyes of a little Ausrian baby...overall, very entertaining

Summary: Mark Frost: A.C. Doyle meets F.Paul Wilson
Review: Frost provides a great tale in which he takes his main character: Arthur Conan Doyle into a seemy side of London and England. Starting with a summons to a spiritualist's seance, the book starts with a bang and is extremely difficult to put down. Well worth the read

Summary: What a Waste
Review: Take the book,The 7 Percent Solution, and mix it in with the film, Young Sherlock Holmes, add a pinch of The Mummy, and you have this book. It's not a bad book, I mean, Frost clearly can write, and you won't feel that you have wasted your money. It delivers what it sets out to do: historical mystery/thriller/horror story, etc., etc. It's just so dang derivative that there is no incentive to seek out anything else by this writer. If you want the adventure/horror thrills, get the 2 movies mentioned above. If you want a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, read Nicholas Meyer's book. Or better yet, if you want the REAL Sherlock Holmes, read the real thing. They are still very fun books, especially the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Summary: Great Adventure Story
Review: As a dedicated fan and reader of many Sherlock Holmes stories, I must say this is one of the best I have ever read. While the "bad guys" in this stories are a little fantastic, Doyle and Holmes (through the character of Jack Sparks) live in these pages. A great story and characters. I couldn't put it down until the end.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: My husband suggested this book to me and I just wasn't sure that I'd be interested in the period that this book deals with. Now I'm sorry I hesitated even for a day. When I finally opened that eerie cover and started reading, it was as though the whole story enveloped me! I so looked forward to reading it but on the other hand, I was trying not to read it too fast because I just didn't want it to end. I heartily suggest it to everyone and am even giving it to family members for Christmas.
