The first story features a woman who out-Sherlocks Sherlock and makes him like it. ( ) Sherlock Holmes Never Dies by Craig Stephen Copland includes 6 new reworkings of original Holmes stories. I found these stories to be fun and an interesting re-visioning of Sherlock Holmes. In particular I appreciated the increased autonomy of female characters rather than the usual flat characterizations. Certainly a modern touch, but a welcome one. If you are looking for work that emulates Doyle closely I think you may be disappointed but I am not sure that was the intent anyway so is not a valid criticism of the book, simply a division between what some may want and what this work is offering. The whole apples and oranges thing. If, however, you like a reworking that shows respect for the original while being unapologetically different, then I think you will enjoy this. Additionally, those who haven't read Doyle's Holmes will enjoy these as mysteries. Reviewed from a copy made available through Goodreads First Reads. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieNew Sherlock Holmes Mysteries (Collection 2)
Return to Baker Street, where the world's most famous detective encounters six new cases that require his expert touch. London's super sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, sets out with longsuffering Watson as the detectives of Scotland Yard are stumped yet again. Blood coats the street of Victorian England, but no evidence is clear and no suspect cleared of guilt. As to be expected, evil genius--the Napoleon of Crime--Professor Moriarty soon reappears. The great detective must thwart his diabolical machinations, but even Holmes is practically brought to his knees by shocking new discoveries only he can understand. Despite Moriarty's conniving, Sherlock will use the science of deduction to unravel mysteries of theft, abduction, political intrigue, and murder. Female characters take much deserved center stage in these updated stories, no longer willing to play the part of hapless victim or jealous wife. Meanwhile, Holmes and Watson traipse the globe in search of justice. No guilty party is safe, no matter the distance, from the all-knowing eye of the world's best detective and his daring sidekick.
