I have been a Holmes fan for many years so I enjoyed this a great deal… a great deal of fun to read.—Cocktails and Books

The Whole Art of Detection
Author: Lyndsay Faye
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802189369
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This collection of short mysteries by the international-bestselling author of Dust and Shadow “belongs on the top shelf with the very best of Doyle’s” (Nicholas Meyer, author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution). Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, Edgar Award–finalist Lyndsay Faye has masterfully woven these quintessential characters into her own works of fiction—from her acclaimed debut novel, Dust and Shadow, to a series of short stories for the Strand Magazine, whose predecessor published the first Sherlock Holmes story in 1892. The best of Faye’s Sherlockian tales, including two new works, are brought together in a collection that spans the character’s career, from self-taught upstart to lauded detective, both before and after he faked his own death over a Swiss waterfall in 1894. In “The Lowther Park Mystery,” the unsociable Holmes is forced to attend a garden party at the request of his politician brother and improvises a bit of theater to foil a conspiracy against the government. “The Adventure of the Thames Tunnel” brings Holmes’s attention to the murder of a jewel thief in the middle of an underground railway passage. With Holmes and Watson encountering all manner of ungrateful relatives, phony psychologists, wronged wives, outright villains, and even a peculiar species of deadly red leech, The Whole Art of Detection is a must-read for any fan of historical crime fiction. “If Lyndsay Faye’s byline weren’t on the cover, readers might deduce that the Sherlock Holmes mysteries in The Whole Art of Detection actually came from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.” —David Martindale, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
Chronicles of the Lost Years A secret that Holmes is compelled to solve Elizabeth Sigerson — independent, practical, a crack shot with a pistol. Definitely not a woman of her time. She can more than hold her own against Holmes’ abilities. Watson takes up his pen one last time in a private memoir that tells the true tale of Holmes’ adventures during his three year absence from Baker Street known as The Great Hiatus. What happened to Sherlock Holmes in the three years Dr. Watson thought he was dead? The Case of the Reluctant Agent Holmes must face the memories that haunt him. It is 1917 and the Great War has been raging for three long years. When Mycroft is shot and left for dead, Holmes is forced to Constantinople to uncover the man behind the deed. Unfortunately, before he was assaulted Mycroft failed to communicate which of his agents was the turncoat. So begins Holmes’ reluctant return to the Near East. The adventure provokes a bagful of memories, both bitter and sweet of that area of the world where he spent so much time with Elizabeth Sigerson. The hunt for the agent who betrayed Mycroft unravels with breath-robbing surprises that even Holmes with all his skills could never have anticipated. The Amazon Historical Mystery bestseller, Chronicles of the Lost Years, and the World War I set sequel, The Case of the Reluctant Agent, are now collected into a boxed set, along with all the conversations surrounding them, and the three original Conan Doyle stories that inspired them. __ Praise for the series. I am very impressed with her ability to write Sherlock Holmes close enough to the originals even Conan Doyle would have a hard time telling them apart. She is clever in her plot twists, true to Holmes in his logic and detailed thinking but she has also managed to give him a little bit of emotion that the originals lacked. Cocktails and Books
