4.0 out of 5 stars The Monster of St. Marylebone, November 26, 1999

"merbeth" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Monster of St. Marylebone (Paperback)

Quite a few authors use Sherlock Holmes as the protagonist, but not many are as interesting as this one. A serial killer and the Irish troubles of this time period are most important in this plot. Very enjoyable, and I hope the author continues to write more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thought Provoking Page Turner, March 4, 2000

E.D. (Hartford, Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Monster of St. Marylebone (Paperback)

Wayne Worcester's compelling portrayal of Holmes and Watson will appeal longtime Sherlock fans as well any reader who enjoys a complex, well developed mystery. This book will challenge the reader to rethink the relationship between Holmes and Watson. In his development of the protagonist, the author adds a dimension to the character not often evident in this genre. The settings were extraordinarily well depicted. This fascinating book kept me enthralled to the end and I look forward to more in this series.

This review is from: The Monster of St. Marylebone (Paperback)

This book captures the true essensce of Doyle's characters. It's not just another Sherlock Holmes story. This has character development and a rousing good plot. I highly recommend it.

If you seek characters and a story with fidelity to the Doyle canon, look elsewhere. Holmes here is dim and vulgar, missing many obvious clues up to the end. Read more
