Interesting Diversion
For Sherlockians, this is an interesting departure of Holmes' continuing adventures as related by his protege, Edward Porter Jones ( referred to as Porter). Biggle can be a wonderful writer, equally talented in Science Fiction and in Mysteries, and while this is not one of his best, it is quite readable and an interesting diversion occasionally a tad precious, and there...

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For Sherlockians, this is an interesting departure of Holmes' continuing adventures as related by his protege, Edward Porter Jones ( referred to as Porter). Biggle can be a wonderful writer, equally talented in Science Fiction and in Mysteries, and while this is not one of his best, it is quite readable and an interesting diversion occasionally a tad precious, and there are some conflicts with the Canon, but all-in-all, it is a fun read . Do I rank it up with other Holmes homages or pastiches - no, but if you are interested in collecting Holmes related material, this should have a place on your shelf. Also recommend The Glendower Conspiracy, which is the second of the series.
