Sherlock Book Reviews - The Further Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes Volume II

It’s wonderful to live in a time when there are so many new Holmes adventures, as I recall when they were much harder to find. These eight tales in Caiden Cooper Myle’s second collection, “The Further Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes – Volume II” are everything that one looks for in a Holmes story – well-plotted, interesting in a way to propel the reader forward to find out what happens next, and told in Watson’s voice concerning the TRUE traditional Canonical Sherlock Holmes. Like Myles’ first book, these stories follow the Canonical path and, reading them, I quickly sit back and relax, as this Holmes doesn’t turn out to be a sociopath or a murderer, and no ghosts have applied. Like The Canon, these tales take place during different periods of Holmes and Watson’s lives, showing them at different stages of their friendship and professional skill. It’s long been known that the original pitifully few sixty Canonical tales are not enough, and this book, like Volume I, is valuable in providing more excellent adventures about Our Heroes.

As we know, Watson, the law is not always justice. So, on this occasion, justice cannot be the law.”
Presented within this volume are a further eight, previously unpublished, accounts by John H. Watson, M.D. These adventures bring Holmes and Watson face-to-face with thieves and murderers as well as bringing them into contact with the murky worlds of espionage and spiritualism.
