I understand this was more a Sherlock story, but with that portrayal and the changing of a few other characters from POTO, I just can't get into it. Also with a small jab at the end of Leroux's work.............its on my "Trade Only" list as opposed to the "Buy" list. It was an OK read, much more Sherlock and Watson, their portrayal was spot on. Plenty of great atmosphere and gothic/Victorian/Paris feel. Great for Sherlock fans not so much for Phantom fans. For both like me, not so good. Much prefer Angel Of The Opera.

The thidr in the Meyer series of pseudo-Holmes books irritates me by taking the real Watsonian reference to a "canary trainer" to be a trainer of opera singers and making Holmes' opponent a version of the Phantom of the Opera. Naturally in an opera setting Holmes meets again his favorite opera singer, Irene Aidler. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Located by a computer in the bowels of a major university where it had collected dust for over half a century, this missing manuscript by the biographer of Sherlock Holmes reveals for the first time a hitherto unknown episode in the life of the Great Detective." "Holmes, master sleuth, was also an accomplished violinist. Following his discharge from therapy with Sigmund Freud (see The Seven-Per-Cent Solution), we now learn that he journeyed to Paris and there found employment as a pit musician at the Paris Opera." "The year is 1891, Paris is the capital of the western world, and its opera house is full of surprises. First and by no means least is the sudden reappearance of the great love of Holmes's life, an accomplished singer from Hoboken, New Jersey." "Second is the series of seemingly bizarre accidents - each more sinister than the last - allegedly arranged by the "Opera Ghost," an opponent who goes by many names and is more than equal to Holmes." "Alone in a strange and spectacular city, with none of his normal resources, Holmes is commissioned to protect a vulnerable young soprano, whose beautiful voice obsesses a creature no one believes is real, but whose jealousy is lethal." "In this dazzling, long-awaited sequel to The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, the detective pits wits against a musical maniac, and we are treated to an adventure unlike any other in the archives of Sherlock Holmes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This was fun, and I did like that Sherlock was, for once, the narrator and that he'd been taken away from all of his familiar haunts.
Not the best adventure, but definitely nowhere near the worst. ( )
