Sherlock Book Review - Further Studies in Statecraft - The Memoirs of Mycroft Holmes (The Redacted Novels, Book 3)
Publié par Steve Emecz le
The characters under scrutiny in this volume are wonderfully varied. We have Jack the Ripper rubbing shoulders with Eva Braun and in one delightful sequence, Winston Churchill haggles with the Tax Inspector in an attempt to lessen his bill.
The characterisations of the familiar persons who enrich Mr Pearson’s pages (Dr Watson and Mycroft Holmes, etc.) are respectfully and appropriately delivered to us and add hugely to the appeal of this book, making it a worthy addition to any “books about books” collection.

Why is Britain Great?
Could it be because in charge for many years was Mycroft Holmes, the only man in history more intelligent than Sherlock Holmes?
Read in Further Studies in Statecraft how Mycroft turns the Ripper and the Dreyfus affairs to Great Britain's advantage, extends the political career of Winston Churchill, deals with Hitler's girlfriends and his only Jewish Field-Marshal, and bests American President, Ronald Crump, in a trade negotiation.
The political stratagems are straight out of the textbook of Niccolò Machiavelli.
And the account of these historic events is in the hands of master-chronicler of Holmesian events, Orlando Pearson.
