The Baker Street Journal "Nunn turns the Canon on its head in this clever and entertaining book and imagines a world in which Holmes has turned to crime. As a criminal consultant, Holmes vies with his rival Moriarty for the role of king of crime." Ravens Reviews “Let us suppose that Holmes was not the consulting detective of the canon and bitter enemy to Professor Moriarty. Picture him instead as a “consulting criminal,” head of a vast criminal empire spreading its wings over London, Britain, and creeping into the rest of the world. Moriarty is a rival, trying to push...

AUDIOBOOKS Holmes Sweet Holmes   $18.95  Writer-actor-director Peter Gerard’s latest film was a smash hit, but some fans of Sherlock Holmes were outraged. Why?

Raven's Reviews “…The tremendous novel that introduces the reader to Professor George Edward Challenger—brilliant, apelike, powerfully muscled, and short tempered—is recreated here in this graphic novel.

Petr Kopl has other graphic novels available, and I hope to read them all”   ...

Sisters In Crime Australia "This energetic and imaginative offering is extremely entertaining. It takes us, together with Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, at the instigation of Mycroft Holmes himself, on a wild ride through the quiet backwaters of a Wiltshire village to the odd assortment of people staying at the local great house, Barrow Hill Manor, in whose grounds the body of an MP’s sister’s fiancé has been found. The lady has already been involved in one scandal, not of her own making, in London, and her brother wants this matter, deemed an accident by the local constabulary, investigated for...

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...
