Summary: This A. C. Doyle is NOT his father!
Comment: The stories are actually not too bad, the one with the giant spiders being the best with more than a touch of Fu Manchu. But, alas, it is all too easy to pick out which stories John Dickson Carr was involved with and which ones Adrain Conan Doyle attempted on his own. Being the son of a great writer does not give you the same greatness through genetics. Doyle was good, his stories well-paced and well-written, but he was not his father. Still a good read and one no Sherlockian should be without. Three solid Sherlock stars from the Blade!
Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting and Enjoyable
Comment: The original Sherlock Holmes stories are riddled with references to other cases which the author never elaborated on. Arthur Conan Doyle's son Adrian and famed mystery writer John Dickson Carr have decided to flesh 9 of these cases out. While not on the level of Sir Arthur's originals they are an interesting and enjoyable entertainment that will provide a good quick read before bed time.

Summary: One of the Best Pastiche Holmes
Comment: I truly enjoyed this book. As a fan of HOlmes, I wanted to read about his "lost" cases, or the ones that Watson mentions in passing but never puts down on paper. This is a delightful collection of stories, although I wished that "The Giant Rat of Sumatra" was included. ;-}
