Holmes Redux

Rating:
Summary: Four stories in the classic Holmes style
Review: David Scott has produces a series of stories in a style reminiscent of that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in writing the original Sherlock Holmes series. This, combined with elements from Doyle's own stories, should mean that regular Sherlock Holmes readers will feel comfortable with this book.

Having said that, it should also be noted that the stories do not push any boundaries of the Holmes canon, and so while comfortably reassuring in their familiarity, are unlikely to spark strong passions.

A satisfying if unchallenging read for Holmes enthusiasts.

Summary: Fairly well-written take on Holmes
Review: This book is a bit brief, but other than that has much to recommend it. The author seems to have a good feel for Holmes (at least as good as many other current pastiche authors). The key, for me at least, in deciding whether a pastiche is good or not is if I would want to read further Holmes adventures written by the author. In this case, the answer is a definite "Yes". Well worth the money.
