David Marcum Stephen Herczeg is a prolific Holmes pasticheur of the correct, traditional, and Canonical type. For the most part – except for a few stories that color outside the lines to satisfy specific requirements of certain Alternate Universe Holmes collections – Mr. Herczeg understands and provides new adventures set in the correct period, and without any aspects of parody, actual supernatural encounter, or weird Steampunk worlds.

My personal favorite is “The Ghazi Genie” – not quite a typical story, as Holmes and Watson, delayed on a...

Four of our audiobooks were picked for the Audible autumn sale which propelled them all into the top 5. The additional book to make the top five was Paula Hammond's second short story collection - The Infinitely Stranger Cases of Sherlock Holmes which is already getting rave reviews. Richard Ryan's 'Poisoned Pawn' rounds out the top five. Mark Ellis's epic mammoth novel 221B On Her Majesty's Secret Service comes in at number 6 as another new book. It was a good month for novels with JG Grimmer's dark tale 'In The Shadow Of The Swastika' making number 11 - despite...
