Descriptions THE THAMES HORROR AND OTHER ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES book
"I am an old man, the last survivor of that small group which was witness to the events which occurred in Devonshire in October of 1899. If I do not commit the details—the true details—to paper, then the story will be lost forever."
These true details are revealed in Barbara Roden's masterful story "Of the Origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles", described by PUBLISHERS WEEKLY as "exceptional" and "on a level of its own". It is one of four tales included in THE THAMES HORROR, which gathers together four new adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his companion, Dr. John Watson. Roden—a lifelong Sherlockian and a member of the Baker Street Irregulars of New York—remains faithful to the immortal characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle, while infusing her tales with suspense, mystery, and more than a little horror. In "The Things That Shall Come Upon Them"—which SF SITE praised as "entertaining and elegantly written"—Holmes and Watson team up with psychic detective Flaxman Low to solve the mysterious occurrences at Lufford Abbey, in a tribute to M. R. James's classic tale "Casting the Runes". A previously unrecorded case provides the basis for "The Suspect Servant", and a real-life horror takes centre stage in the previously unpublished title story, which sees Holmes and Watson on the trail of a serial killer in Victorian London.
THE THAMES HORROR AND OTHER ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is a must-read for anyone who has ever wished that Conan Doyle had written more stories about his immortal detective. If you love a good mystery, and want to escape to that gaslit world where it is always 1895, rejoice: the game is afoot once more!, Good Books To Read 2016 .
