Book Review - Sherlock Holmes and The Molly Boy Murders
Posted by Steve Emecz on
"First-time novelist Margaret Walsh has brought us a new adventure covering the type of case that wouldn’t have made it into The Strand. Clearly the types of crimes, and the graphic forensic details, are something that Watson, as a doctor, would have faithfully recorded, even if he couldn’t share it with the public. Set in early 1889, not long after the brutal Ripper murders, a new set of terrible crimes is targeting a little-known group of Londoners. As the events play out, the number of deaths continue to rise, and some evidence even starts to point toward Scotland Yard. There...

Posted by Steve Emecz on
It's a flying start to September for Sherlock Holmes audiobooks with several new entrants into the chart - including the top three slots.

Overall, the work begs the argument that the world’s most famously self‑contained, consulting detective is not only capable of emotional depth, but that his humanity is...

"An exciting story carrying the true essence of a mystery with Sherlock Holmes." 5/5 Stars Reedsy. "A fun and fabulous book about a period of Doyle’s life that continues to puzzle people today. Highly recommended." Margaret Walsh "Sherlock Holmes is a character recognised world-wide as an outstandingly rational thinker. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote many remarkable books and essays which demonstrate his own rational nature, and he applied his logical reasoning to matters that most of us believe to be impossible, such as communication with the dead, which he firmly believed to be not merely possible but demonstrably true....
