Bookbag Reviews My Dear Watson - a novel of Sherlock Holmes
Posted by Steve Emecz on
"I started this book after an evening out, thinking I would just read a page or two to help me sleep... two hours later I’d read all of it. Margaret Park Bridges knows how to give a reader a good time. Each page beckons you hypnotically towards the next.

Four star reviews from independent bookstore review site The Bookbag are to be treasured as they don't come around too often. My Dear Watson gets a great review - a few minor gripes...

The Ill Dressed Vagabond reviews No Police Like Holmes a Sherlock Holmes novel by Dan Andriacco
Posted by Steve Emecz on
Described by The Sherlock Holmes Society of London as "An exciting and witty romp" Dan Andriacco's first novel No Police Like Holmes has been a big hit with Holmes fans around the world. It's not a pastiche though, it is a mystery featuring Holmes fans rather than the great detective himself. His first book was Baker Street Beat which is also the name of his blog, contained essays, a pastiche and some radio plays. It's fiction though that Dan really likes to write. Here, one of the main Sherlock Holmes reviewers in the USA, Philip K Jones (aka The Ill Dressed Vagabond) gives us...
