    1.0 out of 5 stars Very Poorly Written
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2003
    Given that Martin Powell is writing stories based on other authors' characters, I didn't expect anything original in "A Case of Blind Fear". However, I expected Powell to at least steal from the existing literature effectively. Instead, he randomly grabs played out scenes, stitching them together into a travesty of storytelling. Case in point, the ending of the story. (Spoiler Warning) The last chapter opens with Holmes attempting to beat information out of a severely injured criminal. Watson chastens Holmes that he could have killed him; to which Holmes replies, "I fancy he'll recover enough to hang, Watson." On the following page, Holmes and Watson learn the story's main villain has raped Watson's wife, murdering his unborn child. As Holmes chases down the villain a few pages later he cries out, "Griffin ... You're hurt. Sick. Let me help you. Please ..." Oh, come on. Holmes is willing to risk killing one of the story's patsies in righteous anger, but longs to help the murderer of his best friend's child. Powell carelessly grabs scenes and dialogue from other stories and uses them to pathetic effect. (End Spoiler Warning)

    "A Case of Blind Fear" was so bad, I finished the book wanting my money back. Since I can't get my money back, I figured I could at least warn you to not waste yours on this garbage.
