Sherlock Book Reviews - Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of The Found Note
Posted by Steve Emecz on
"An absolute belter of a Sherlock mystery! Packed with suspense, international intrigue, secret societies, dead ends, rugged islands in the north sea, masterful deceptions, the cosy fireside at Baker Street, connoisseur tobaccos, and nail-biting shoot-outs. Through it, we are in the more than capable hands of the warm, faithful, resolute Watson. And above it all towers Holmes: ascetic, impetuous, unmanageable, indomitable. THE ADVENTURE OF THE FOUND NOTE confirms Matthew Simmonds as a magnificent observer and recreator of Holmes, whose unique Victorian world of contrasts and baffling mysteries is woven into every page. I have been looking forward to this book for a long time, and the wait was more than worth it! If you like Sherlock, brain-cudgelling puzzles, and edge-of-the-seat adventures, you'll love this!"
Dominic Selwood - Historian, barrister and author of the best-selling thriller 'The Sword of Moses'. His latest book 'Anatomy of a Nation: A History of British Identity in 50 Documents' is a masterful journey through time, exploring the documents that forged our national identity.

Darkness clung to the early Baker Street morning as Dr Watson opened the front door. The night watchman held out a small slither of paper. Written faintly upon this were just two short words: "Help me."
Sherlock Holmes must use all of his remarkable powers of deduction to identify the author of this desperate plea. His investigations lead him and his companion into a murky conspiracy - a sinister secret society plotting a fiendish scheme that could destroy the British economy and bring down the government.
From a thunderous carriage chase through the streets of London to a deadly shootout on a remote island off the North-East coast of England, can Holmes and Watson uncover the dark secret that lies within the sinister 'Ex Tenebris' club?
