Review: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson by Thomas A Burns Jnr

Synopsis: Return to the streets and alleys of Victorian London, where the game is afoot once again! The Great Detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and his steadfast companion Dr. Watson are back for ten new cases, spanning the length of the quintessential detective's illustrious career. Beginning while Holmes was still a green investigator in Montague Street, this collection encompasses the 1880s and the 1890s, up to the dawn of the new century. Walk with Holmes as he puzzles over the problem of a drunken teetotaler, celebrates an old English Christmas at the Red Lion, tracks down the Camberwell poisoner, and experiences the horror in King Street. If you've been pining for new traditional, canonical Sherlock Holmes tales, Ten Steps from Baker Street is the collection you've been waiting for.

Nice homage to the world's most well known (and beloved) consulting detective - Sherlock Holmes. We begin with his arrival in London as a fresh faced lad of 23yo in 1887, crossing swords with Inspector Lestrade on his (Holmes) first case, before Watson takes over the narrative of the next cases over the course of a decade (1881 onwards). In sync with Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

Worthy addition to anyone's Sherlock Holmes collection.
