books about: sherlock     books:       Double Jeopardy (FBI Series)6 reviews Catherine Coulter Berkley Trade, 2008 Both are excellent books if you have never read them I am glad that I read the first customers review more in depth before purchasing this book off my wish list. I have already read both of these and didn't realize that they were reissues together under a different cover. The Maze was the first book I ever read by her and was hooked. Excellent book, and I still believe her best to date. But both of these "The Target" and "The Edge" are good books ...             The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Novels (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the ...45 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle W. W. Norton, 2005 Calling all Baker Street Irregulars While most people have read at least one Sherlock Holmes stories others have not only read them all but have studied every detail of them. The author, Leslie Klinger, is one of the latter group. He is one of the foremost experts on the 'Canon' as devotees call the Holmes stories, and a member of The Baker Street Irregulars, the oldest and most exclusive club of Holmes scholars. Klinger ...             TailSpin (FBI Thriller, No. 12)37 reviews Catherine Coulter Putnam Adult, 2008 Great Service Product arrived in condition stated and in a timely manner. Would definitely buy from this seller again.             The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Or On the Segregation of the Queen/A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and ...195 reviews Laurie R. King Picador, 2007 Interesting entry into the Holmes legend This book is about a genius teenage girl, recently orphaned, who meets Sherlock Holmes as he's studying bees. Well, she actually almost walks over him. So begins a rather clever story. Mary and Holmes think alike, which means that the amazing Sherlock Holmes finally has a friend with whom he can share his adventures and care about, as opposed to look down upon. The story is narrated by Mary ...             The Crimes of Dr. Watson: An Interactive Sherlock Holmes Mystery4 reviews M.D., John H. Watson Quirk Books, 2007 Very Good Sherlockian Pastiche! The production values of the book try to reflect the time of Dr Watson and Holmes, from the slightly yellowed pages to the Victorian endpapers that look like the wallpaper pattern common at the time. The mini-story contained within, 'The Final Problem', was a treat. The clues held within were reproduced well and felt that you were holding the actual pieces of evidence. It's a fascinating ...             Sherlock Holmes: The Montana Chronicles13 reviews John S Fitzpatrick Riverbend Publishing, 2008 Actually GOOD! ... Holmes commented, "There's no pretense about these Montana folk, Watson, such a refreshing change from the English aristocracy." Anyone who has ever known and loved "Montana folk" will also love these short stories by Montana (Anaconda / Helena) native John Fitzpatrick. Through the eyes of someone who knows both history and scenery of the mining ghost towns - and the pen of someone ...             Sherlock Holmes : The Complete Novels and Stories (Bantam Classic) Volume I15 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Bantam Classics, 1986 One of my favorite writers! There's not much left to say about this literary classic. It's great to have all of the stories and novels put together, in the order that they were published--there are references here and there to things that happened in previous stories. Of course, you don't have to read everything in order, but its worth it all the same. Some of my all-time favorite stories in this volume of the ...             Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes1 review Barbara Hambly, Kim Newman, ... EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing, 2008 Ghosts May Apply! This is a collection of Sherlockian tales in which, to quote David Stuart Davies' Forward, "Ghosts may apply." Each of the tales involves some `supernatural' element, a Djinn, a Vampire, a painting, quite a variety of individuals and items. In fact, Chico Kidd and Rick Kennett's "The Grantchester Grimoire" is only the second pastiche I know of that pairs Holmes and Hodgson's Carnacki the Ghost ...             Complete Sherlock Holmes130 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Doubleday, 1960 Sherlock Holmes can do no wrong This is a classic. Sherlock Holmes is my favorite detective of all time and this book will have a permanent place in my library. I do not mind the small print. I love the convenience of having all his works in one volume.             Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection (Sherlock Holmes) ignacio hills press (TM) www.IgnacioHillsPress.com, 2008 NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader.

Sherlock Holmes in retirement. That alert mind occupied by nothing more than catching a local schoolboy poaching! It was indeed an odd notion to Dr Watson, who became worried that Holmes, without a challenging case,would soon be but a shadow of his former self. A chance meeting took Holmes and Watson to Singapore for a well-deserved rest ? a rest that was soon to be interrupted by murder ? John Hall spent many ...             The Hound of the Baskervilles: 100th Anniversary Edition (Signet Classics)36 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Signet Classics, 2001 Hound of the Baskervilles "The Hound of The Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle was interesting from the first page. There's already a mystery to be solved right when you open the book, with a mysterious cane left in Watson and Sherlock's office. Doyle keeps each page filled with suspense and thrills. Even as I read, I could hear the low, mournful sound of the hound that Stapleton keeps locked up baying across the ...             The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls7 reviews John R. King Forge Books, 2008 The explanation of Holmes' disappearance at last! King does an amazing job here of perfectly capturing the essence of a Sherlock Holmes story while not getting bogged down with out-of-date language or scenery. The story begins at the "final" confrontation between Holmes and Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls (thus the name of the book) and carries us on from there. One thing this author does so well is finally giving us a reason to sympathize ...             Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles2 reviews Pierre Bayard Bloomsbury USA, 2008 Another but deadlier "Irene Adler" tricked Sherlock Holmes Reading this book made me scramble back to my old copy of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. One particularly disturbing aspect of this stunning new analysis suggests Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a vendetta not only against his creation...but also Sherlock Holmes fanatics. It warns the reader of an unorthodox way of understanding the complex interaction between fiction and reality. The cruel irony of ...             The Mysterious World of Sherlock Holmes: The Illustrated Guide to the Famous Cases, Infamous Adversaries, and ...3 reviews Bruce Wexler Running Press, 2008 Not Comprehensive, But Enlightening & Interesting Though Wexler's very visual book does not explain every detail from Holmes' cases, it definitely makes a good companion to them. Upon ordering the book I assumed the pictures would be small and/or sparse throughout. I was very mistaken, as the book is littered with large, full color pictures and illustrations. Some of Paget's illustrations from the original mysteries are included in very ...             The Moor: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell Novels)56 reviews Laurie R. King Picador, 2007 Mary and Sherlock do it again Once again, Mary Russell and Sherlock prove to be a formidable team. In the best sense of fun, we are drawn into another subtle plot that Arthur Conan Doyle would have loved. The setting, Baskerville Hall, is one all Holmes fans are familiar with. And the outcome is not as predictable as Holmes fans might expect. A very enjoyable read.             Sherlock Holmes: A Baker Street Dozen8 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Highbridge Audio, 2006 "I build rare edifices of deduction" This 6-CD set contains fully dramatized radio adaptations of twelve stories from the so-called Sherlock Holmes canon -- four novels and fifty-six stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

What a wonderful book and gentle reminder of the most important things in life -- too many children are over consumers by the time they've even hit double digits. Your book is a welcome voice with helpful information for those of us interested in turning the tide against all of the consumer hype and the noise.             The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1: The Short Stories, Volume 1 (non-slipcased edition)3 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle W. W. Norton, 2007 Great fun I think it's pretty indisputable that this material is classic and great fun to read. The annotated edition is helpful in understanding issues of Victorian London that might slip by you otherwise. But mostly, the commentary is just plain entertaining as it showcases the insanity of Holmes enthusiasts. Many of the footnotes include the wacky theories of these fanatics and while pointing out ...             Locked Rooms (Mary Russell Novels)62 reviews Laurie R. King Bantam, 2006 It's a Pleasure What a pleasure! I read these novels over and over, and continue enjoying them. The characters become friends, and I care what happens to them.
