The Secret Archives of Sherlock Holmes - June Thomson.epub

A mysterious veiled lady carries a counterfeit painting into an art dealer’s office. A widow with three hands slips out of a church door. A farmer lies dead in a barn, his son accused of his murder. A skeleton with a silver locket is unearthed in a back garden. What do they have in common? The famous resident of 221b Baker Street. From the gas-lit clamor of London’s streets, to the isolated Welsh countryside, the great detective Sherlock Holmes, accompanied as always by his faithful friend and biographer Dr. Watson, must solve cases as complex as any he has known before, some of which bring him face to face with old enemies from the past, figures left behind in the mists of the Reichenbach Falls. A brand new cache of original cases from the brilliant imagination of June Thomson displays the master of the art of deduction at his intriguing best and proves that the game is still very much afoot. Thomson effortlessly picks up where Conan Doyle left off and she is widely regarded as the best of those to make the attempt.

REVIEWS

“There aren’t many writers who can capture the Doyle-Watson style almost to perfection. One of the few is June Thomson...The plots are clever without being too fancy, the writing is literate and appropriate, the atmosphere is authentic, and the characters ring true...Wholeheartedly recommended!”The Sherlock Holmes Society of London
