If you like Sherlock Holmes, you are going to love Dr Thorndyke

You're a fan of Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street - but probably wish there were more than just 4 novels and 56 short stories? If you yearn for more similar original stories from the era then meet Dr. John Thorndyke of 5A Kings Bench Walk, London. When Sherlock Holmes began his practice as a “Consulting Detective”, his ideas of scientific criminal investigations caused the London police to look upon him as a mere “theorist”.

Sherlock Holmes in the World of Jules Verne - Review of Sherlock Holmes in the Nautilus Adventure

Ravens Reviews “…Once again, Joseph W Svec, III takes us (and Holmes and Watson) deep into another fictional world that somehow manages to be real. All of the scenes that excite the reader from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, such as the giant squid, are here in this exciting tale. While showing us the wonders of the Nautilus, and delighting us with Luna the Mermaid, Svec manages to also produce a challenging mystery! I am also pleased to see that the teaser at the end of the book promises more adventures, perhaps at Camelot! I gladly give this amazing book...
