About this title

Synopsis

Gilded & embossed hardcover book with dust-jacket. "The West End Horror- A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D." As edited by Nicholas Meyer. Another great mystery for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, a previously unpublished record of the great detective's career as told by Dr. Watson, uncovered and edited by Nicholas Meyer.

Review

Ingenious and persuasive.

Ingenious and persuasive. "

Beguiling and convincing entertainment, an audacious novelty that should set members of the Baker Street Irregulars and even less fanatical collectors of Holmes to dancing.

I hope Nicholas Meyer never stops writing Sherlock Holmes pastiches because he does it so much better than anyone else.
