About this title

Review

“My goodness! I have never read a pastiche that felt so close to Doyle's style- that is, until today, when I discovered this marvelous book by Hugh Ashton. His ‘Watson voice’ is impeccable and so are his interactions between Holmes and Watson.”

“The mood captured in the opening of this book was really perfect. Of course, I am devoted to the Canon, but I love a good pastiche. The trouble is good pastiches of the Sherlock stories are hard to come by. I think Mr. Ashton does an extraordinary job of making me feel like this could have been part of the original Canon.”

“I hardly ever give 5 stars to any Sherlock Holmes pastiche because I don’t believe that anyone can measure up to the master, A. Conan Doyle, but Hugh Ashton never disappoints me. His stories are always high quality in the style, structure and feel of the originals. I have read too many pastiches to mention and Hugh Ashton’s stories would be at the top of the heap. Do yourself a favor, flop down a couple bucks and read this entertaining Sherlock Holmes story.”

“...an exquisite piece of writing that does a superb job of recrafting a Holmes tale as one might read directly from Doyle’s unpublished archives. Given the depth of characters in these stories, and the worldwide popularity they have achieved, this is a courageous and admirable feat, successfully managed by a supremely talented writer.”
