The redoubtable Amelia Watson – the second wife of Dr. John H. Watson of Baker Street fame – returns for thirteen light-hearted adventures whose puzzles would tax the ingenuity of the master himself! Whether soaring over England in a hot air balloon; sailing the seas on board ship; journeying to Scotland on behalf of His Majesty himself; becoming enmeshed in a Royal conspiracy at Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show; or following the clues of an ancient treasure hunt through the streets of Edwardian London, Amelia Watson is never far from a mystery, and never fails to solve the most baffling of conundrums.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not My Cup Of Tea
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013
    The idea is interesting: the detecting adventures of Watson's second wife. Sadly, although Mallory is a good writer, he makes almost no effort to create a good story, even though some of these short-short stories have a bit of promise because the problem seems worthwhile of a solution. Instead, Mallory resorts to hackneyed cliches, including the hoary last minute rescue, making Amelia Watson into an idiot despite what seems to be her ability to analyse problems. He also provides her with an annoying tic used over and over: she says "Oh" and slaps her forehead when she realizes the truth. Watson himself is another ancient cliche - Daddy Is A Dope - making him worse than the Nigel Bruce Watson. Holmes is rarely involved, so you can't even say these are Sherlock stories. For Holmes addicts, like me, you will have to go elsewhere to get your fix.

    If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, you will enjoy these delightful short stories that bring back many of the characters from the famous sleuth's exploits.

    But there is a twist. This time the protagonist is none other than John Watson's second wife. Didn't know Watson had a spouse? Just read the introduction to these stories and you will be a believer.

    Author Michael Mallory spins such a clever tale about this wonderful lady that you will go along with the history without missing a beat. Mallory has penned over a hundred short stories, so these flow gently from his pen like a hot cup of tea.

    Even though Amelia Watson is a new character created by the talented Mallory, he weaves snatches of Sherlock, Watson, and even Mrs. Hudson into the fabric until you are firmly back at 221 B Baker Street with all your old friends.

    And the stories are engaging from plots to overthrow the throne to an intriguing tale that pits Sherlock and Amelia in a clever ruse that was so much fun to read.

    Pour yourself a cuppa, sit back in your easy chair, and soon find yourself back in those misty times where intellect, not CSI techniques, save the day. (Though there is one story that does delve into science. You'll love it.)

    A fun read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This excellent thirteen story collection provides a fascinating spin on the Holmes mythos
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2008
    This excellent thirteen story collection provides a fascinating spin on the Holmes mythos. In the Introduction John Shirley explains that Holmes mentions that his chronicler Watson had a second wife (see The Adventures of the Blanched Soldier) whom he was married to in January 1903. Using that footnote Mr. Shirley provides the Baker Street crowd with a wonderful collection in which Amelia Watson solves the cases. Of the thirteen tales, twelve have been in other publications. All the entries are fun and use a real historical item, person or place, event to anchor the tales. Sherlock makes a few appearances with one amusing moment when he steals the dress of the very tall Amelia so he can go undercover; while Mycroft appears more frequently. Also showing up is Lestrade who appreciates Mrs. Watson's skills. Fans of the great detective will relish this strong compilation as Amelia recognizes her competitor for John's affections is Sherlock and John is envious that not only his friend is a superior sleuth so is his wife whom he adores.
