"Authorized by Dame Jean Doyle" on the cover. Exceedingly dull. Endless byplay between MH and the OC domestic staff: Guthrie the secretary, Tyers the valet, Sutton the double, Hastings. The plot involves the Japanese. That's all I gleaned before giving up from boredom. Very fan fic with all the talking and not acting. Recurring pastiche theme--countries trying to jump-start WW1. |

More Dickens than Holmes, although Holmes is sort of the main character, along with Harris. Apparently Harris performs a Watsonian role to Datchery in ED and does so here to 19 y.o. Holmes. Both are searching for the real-life inspiration for John Jasper. A lot of tedious linguistic discussions of names in Dickens with Clinch (sometimes Clinchy) Magink (really) as the r.l. Jasper trying to commit preposterously whimsical murders in implausibly public situations. Giant Rat, Nessie. Meta: people in Dickens costumes, a Dickens conference. |

SH autobiography, edited and annotated by Harrison. Lengthy pastiche opening with description of mss, etc. Footnotes throughout. I've thought of Holmes as many things: arrogant, brilliant, moody, insufferable, drama queen, repressed gay. But never as a crashing bore. Thanks so much, Harrison. Usual mix of RPs and FPs, explanations of Watson's thought processes as he came up with fake names for "real" cases, some adventures told (some untold tales of canon, others not). At least SH is fond of W, or so he says.

Geoffrey Weston, grandson of Mycroft, is a "Christian detective." Home/office on Baker St. Prayer and bible study precede investigation. John Taylor=Watson, Twigg=Lestrade. Written and set in 1970s but feels musty--Scotland Yard consulting GW when Reginald Hill and the others were writing police procedurals with an eye to realism. Maybe if GW was a PI it wouldn't feel so antiquated. Supernatural v. science, the bad guys tampered in God's domain, and so on. Sort of AU because it reconstructs the original set-up in a different time, but only direct ties to SH are Baker St. and Mycroft. |

The first in King's series about Mary (or, as I think of her, Mary Sue) Russell. First part of the book deals with her apprenticeship, then a set of cases involving a mysterious nemesis.

It's the 39 year age gap that wigs me, and the Mary Sue-ness. She'd actually be better without Holmes, like an unfunny but still interesting Phryne Fisher. The most interesting aspect of the books to me is the time period and the roles of women. In this book, a charismatic woman named Margery Childe has started The New Temple in God. She attracts a large group of wealthy young women who had done things in the war and then had nowhere to focus their capable, energetic selves. Meta: reference to ACD fairy controversy. Crossover/meta: possibly a passing reference to Raffles. |
