Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and the Victorian era lives again in some of the most baffling adventures that Watson has ever recorded. Holmes and Watson find that some of their investigations are more complex and bizarre than most and Sherlock Holmes battles his greatest fear, the unexplained. Sherlock Holmes must use his fine-tuned skills and knowledge of science and biology to decipher some of the most interesting cases he has ever faced. Can lightning strike without a storm? Do Zombies exist? Can a spool of copper wire be an accessory to a crime? Can it be that apparitions are among us? The thick London fog rolls over the cobblestone streets.....it's the Victorian era........it's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson......and the game is afoot!… (plus d'informations)

Disappointing, at least he first of the stories in this small collection. The author failed to consider that he is writing for people in the 21st century. Doyle could have written about a test tube full of liquid Nitrogen in 1890 and gotten away with it. Any educated contemporary reader knows you can't fill a test tube with liquid Nitrogen and have it slowly evaporate from an open glass test tube.

The next 4 stories each get progressively better. I enjoyed the last one quite a bit. Jarring though was the use of the term Ms for unmarried ladies. Its important to avoid modern words in a book set 120 years ago. ( )

This is a collection of five cases, written up by Dr. Watson without benefit of his notes, which had been lost. There is no particular theme to the stories and they represent varied plots and they are placed at various times... On the whole, this collection was disappointing. My initial reaction was colored by my surprise at the solution to the first mystery and my disbelief of that solution. The other tales do not present that kind of error and some are fairly interesting. However, the confused cultural setting in the "Pinson Manor" detracted from the story's readability, and the solution of Jackthorn Circle was a disappointment, leaving two satisfactory stories out of five.
