Book Reviews - Sherlock In Love - The Holmes-Adler Mysteries

Peter Blau, BSI "David MacGregor has written three plays produced by the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, Mich., from 2018 to 2021, and he has turned the plays into short stories that have been collected in Sherlock in Love: The Holmes-Adler Mysteries; they star Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler (who in fact did not die after she encountered Holmes in “A Scandal in Bohemia” and instead has moved in with him at 221B Baker Street).   To avoid shocking his readers, Watson has her posing as Mrs. Hudson, and their investigations involve them with Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Auguste Escoffier, Nikola...

Book Review - The Sign of Fear - The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

"Never mind what you’ve been told: the former Mary Morstan is a woman with a past — so perhaps it’s natural that she should come within the orbit of the Napoleon of Crime.
