Overview

Three adventures of Sherlock Holmes, very much in the style of the original stories, by a writer who has been acclaimed as the reincarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Odessa Business introduces a new member of the Holmes clan, as Sherlock Holmes investigates a death at an academy for young ladies, which opens more doors than were previously suspected.

The Case of the Missing Matchbox reveals the truth about the "remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science", which drove men to insanity.

The Case of the Cormorant takes Holmes and Watson to Cornwall, where dark doings are afoot, which nevertheless must be kept hidden from the public.

Editorial Reviews

"This collection displays an uncanny mimicry of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing style and portrays the characters of Holmes and Watson in a manner consistent with the canon. Indeed, if I hadn't known that these stories were written last year, if someone had just sprung them on me without comment, I would have assumed that they were indeed previously undiscovered Doyle originals."
"These stories are deceptive. They look like familiar Canonical tales and yet they are more personal and, in some ways, more satisfying. The reader is taken more into the lives of Holmes and Watson than in the published tales. Both men seem more real and more interesting as people than they do in the Canonical tales. Holmes and Watson bicker and argue and are alive and human. The surrounding world also seems more 'up close and personal' than that presented in the Canon."
"These are marvelous stories where all elements including descriptions of settings, characters and plot are done to perfection. The author has followed the approaches of the original Doyle stories to the extent that these could have been easily included in the original works."
"Mr. Ashton picked up where Conan Doyle left off without missing a beat."
