Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Kaye has edited a clever concoction of "new" Sherlock Holmes cases. In amusing, tongue-in-cheek manner, each of the 15 stories provided is purported to be based on a caper originally outlined by Dr. Watson but penned by various well-known literary masters. Readers will be delighted by tales of Sherlock Holmes written in the diverse and unique styles of such authors as H. G. Wells, Ernest Hemingway, P. G. Wodehouse, and Mickey Spillane. This entertaining and inventive collection serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of the lives and times of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, two of Western literature's most intriguing characters. A must-read for the ever-loyal throng of Baker Street fans. Margaret Flanagan

From Kirkus Reviews

A tricky concept: a series of Sherlock Holmes pastiches based on titles of cases referred to in passing by Dr. Watson, each supposedly fleshed out by a different prominent author. Don't worry about disentangling the strands of stylistic parody: Over half the 15 original contributions get the formula exactly backwards, presenting stories supposedly plotted by Theodore Dreiser (actually Terry McGarry), Ernest Hemingway (Morgan Llywelyn), C.S. Forester (Peter Cannon), and Ellery Queen (Edward D. Hoch) in Watson's own voice. The more thoroughgoing stylistic imitations, meanwhile, of P.G. Wodehouse (Roberta Rogow), Jack Kerouac (Richard A. Lupoff), Dashiell Hammett (Carole Bugg‚), Mickey Spillane (William L. DeAndrea), and Rex Stout (veteran editor Kaye) are more conscientious than entertaining. Still, Sherlockians left unsatisfied by Kaye's anthology The Game is Afoot (1994) will be glad to have the Adventures of the Amateur Mendicant Society, the Red Leech, the Giant Rat of Sumatra, and, of course, the Politician, the Lighthouse, and the Trained Cormorant. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.

    Resurrected Holmes Edited by Marvin Kaye

    This is a series of Holmes pastiches written by modern authors using the style of a classic author. The cases are those mentioned in passing in the Holmes Canon.

    “The Adventure of the Armature Mendicant Society” by John Gregory Betancourt (ascribed to HG Wells)

    When Holmes is contacted by Colonel Oliver Pendleton-Smythe, it sends Holmes and Watson into the world of beggars. And yet there is more to these beggars than meets the eye. The Secret Mendicant Society is in reality a group of spies first set up by the Catholic Church. Espionage is their job description. After all, who pays much attention to a ragged beggar?

    But one of the Colonel’s fellows has been murdered, and he feels that he is next. Four others are missing.

    Betancourt does a very decent job with the story, but I must confess I do not see the connection to HG Wells. Sorry, but I can only give three stars out of five.

    “Victor Lynch the Forger” by Terry McGary (ascribed to Theodore Dreiser)

    A mysterious letter arrives at 221B, and soon after a woman looking for her wayward husband. Holmes states he isn’t in the business to track marital problems, dismissing her rather curtly.

    Then Inspector Leland Barney arrives with a murder case. To complicate matters, the body is found in a room of forged books and papers with the initials VL carved into the mantelpiece. The man has been run through with a poker.

    Mr. McGary has penned a nice story here that has multiple crimes: forgery, blackmail, murder—or was it really murder? I thought the reveal was handled well. I give four out of five stars.

    “The Case of the Notorious Canary Trainer” by Henry Slesar (ascribed to W Somerset Maugham)

    The story is told by a Doctor Pertwee, who has recently joined the Hippocratic Club, where Doctor Watson is also a member. Unfortunately, they get into a fuss over Watson’s recording of Holmes’ cases, which Pertwee believes to be a bit fantastical.

    Then Pertwee receives a package with a dead canary inside. When he asks humbly for Watson to take the case to Holmes, the great detective rudely dismisses it. Pertwee sends evidence as Holmes complains that there was no evidence.

    This does send Holmes to met Lord Pertwee with a truly good reveal and reason for the persecution of Pertwee! I think Mr. Slesar has earned four out of five stars!

    “The Repulsive Story of the Red Leech” by Morgan Llewellyn (ascribed to Ernest Hemingway)

    Late Summer, 1894. Holmes and Watson are on Holiday at the home of Doctor Horatio Floyd. However; Floyd isn’t there when they arrive and they are even told he is not expected.

    (Holmes mentions in passing that poison finished off James Maybrick, Holmes’ choice for Jack the Ripper in this story. Maybrick became a suspect due to his so called diary being discovered. Holmes must have had that knowledge long before the diary surfaced.)

    Bloody murders cause people in London to think the Ripper operating again. Holmes and Watson rush back to London in a truly fantastic reveal of the culprit. I think Mr. Llewellyn has earned the first five out of five stars for this book!

    “Sherlock Holmes and the Loss of the British Barque Sophy Anderson” by Peter Cannon (Ascribed to CS Forester)

    Sir Joseph Porter, KCB, brings Holmes the mystery of The Sophy Anderson which has exploded and sank during Naval Maneuvers. The barque was then under command of Lieutenant Richard Hornblower. The First Lord suspects sabotage, as Imperial German boats were in the area, and actually rescued the sailors from The Sophy Anderson.

    With all the espionage seemingly involved, Holmes feels the answer might lie with a mixed-race Polynesian steward, Jack Luhulu. But the man lies in a coma, and may never awaken.

    The story has its good points and it has places where the prose seems forced. Still I would say it is worth three stars out of five.

    “The Politician, the Lighthouse, and the Trained Cormorant” by Craig Shaw Gardner (ascribed to Edgar Rice Burroughs)

    Colonel Rupert Skeffington, retired, meets with Holms and Watson at an inn called The Drowned Gull. Holmes is investigating a case, and Colonel Skiffington, who is a politician, states they are investigating the same problem.

    The problem is disappearing women. When Margaret the maid at the inn goes missing, Watson tracks her to the lighthouse before being made prisoner himself. Grundy, the Lighthouse Keeper has three strange ape-like creatures here as well.

    There is a definite taste of EBR in this story, and the twists Mr. Gardner puts into the mix make it a very good read. I grant five out of five stars to this story!

    “Sherlock Holmes: Dragon Slayer (The Singular Adventures of the Grice Pattersons in the Isle of Uffa”) by Darrell Schweitzer (ascribed to Lord Dunsany)

    An unidentified Clubman at an unidentified club tells us the story.

    While crossing the Fen County near Thetford one night, he hears a scream, sees shapes struggling which then vanish which makes him think of ghosts. It is then he runs into Dr. Watson, whom he knew from past acquaintance. Watson is aiding Holmes on a case which involves a missing woman, Beatrice, wife of a Mr. Grice Patterson.

    Tales of ghosts and dragons haunt the Isle of Uffa, but Holmes dismisses all thought on that subject. He is certain that Mrs. Grice Patterson has been taken down a secret passageway. And yet there may be more to the Dragon than Holmes is willing to admit!

    This is a truly great story and the twist at the end is a masterpiece. Mr. Schweitzer certainly deserves five stars out of five!

    “The Adventure of Ricoletti of the Club Food (and His Abominable Wife”) by Roberta Ragow (ascribed to PG Wodehouse)

    November 1890. Holmes receives an invitation to a hunting party at the estate of the Earl of Duxbury. This brings up old and decidedly unpleasant memories of a case Holmes had at that estate before he met Watson.

    As Holmes narrates the tale, he was invited to the estate by the then Earl’s son, a classmate, Philip “Popsy”Pemberthy, Lord Pemberthy. Pemberthy is certain that his father is being duped by an Italian man named Ricoletti, who is visiting at the Earl’s London address, but will go to the estate with his wife.

    Holmes’ impressions of Ricoletti are not favorable, and he knows he has made an enemy. However, there have been several thefts at the manor house, and Holmes receives an invitation to Duxbury Place. Upon their arrival, they discover other small but valuable things have gone missing.

    Holmes’ solving of the case is not without embarrassment to him, and Ms Ragow does a masterful job with her tale. I give this one five stars out of five!

    “The Giant Rat of Sumatra” by Paula Volsky (ascribed to HP Lovecraft)

    Watson visits Holmes and discovers that he is being consulted by August Belknap, an explorer who has just returned from an expedition to Sumatra with Professor Sefton Talliard of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

    There they witnessed something no white man had ever seen before, a cult of blue eyed aborigines who worshiped Ur-Allazoth, a giant rat. That is, it has the general shape of a rat, but various abnormal body parts suggest more the cult of Cthulhu.

    After they have taken rubbings from the statue and Professor Talliard has removed a singular tile from the statue they leave via ship for Java. One of the natives has stowed away on board, and a member of the expedition is murdered. Then the ship, The Matilda Briggs is destroyed and they barely escape with their lives.

    I will say straight up that Ms Volsky has written the absolute best story of the Giant Rat of Sumatra I have ever read, and I’ve read quite a few. She manages the twin task of sounding true to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to HP Lovecraft. I think this story worth plus five out of five stars! You don’t want to miss this one, believe me!

    “Mrs. Vamberry Takes a Trip (Vamberry the Wine Merchant)” by Mike Resnick (ascribed to J Thorne Smith)

    This story is a slightly risqué comedy. Holmes and Watson have a visitor, a Mrs. Vamberry, who eventually proves to have on nothing but her raincoat. Watson and Holmes’ are enjoying a case of champagne that was delivered to 221B and Mrs. Vamberry joins them.

    It is potent stuff and soon all are drunk. Holmes tries to get Mrs, Vamberry home, with hilarious consequences.

    Ordinarily, I do not like humorous Holmes parodies, but Resnick does a remarkable job with this one. Four out of five stars is well deserved here.

    “The Adventure of the Boulevard Assassin” by Richard A Lupoff (ascribed to Jack Kerouac)

    The story is a bit of a mess. It is intended as a farce, and as a farce it isn’t too bad. It is just hard to read as large portions of it have no punctuation at all, the sentences run into each other without warning, and the total lack of Holmes and Watson’s usual character is disturbing.

    Try as I will, because I do not relish handing out bad reviews, I find little about Mr. Lupoff’s story to recommend it. Two out of five stars is all I can in good conscience give this—farce…

    “The Madness of Colonel Warburton” by Carol Buggé (ascribed to Dashiell Hammett)

    Holmes and Watson are on holiday; bound for America aboard the Barbizon Princess. Aboard ship they meet Colonel Edward Warburton and his wife, Elizabeth. She consults with Holmes as she wonders and worries about her husband’s well being. She states that his family has a history of madness.

    Buggé, author of the great novels The Haunting of Torre Abby and The Star of India, provides the reader with an excellent story here as well, with enough plot twists to rate a full five out of five stars. Just when you think you have it all figured out, there is at least an 80% chance that you are wrong…

    And don’t miss the ending which involves a certain black bird statue…

    “The Manor House Case” by Edward D Hoch (ascribed to Ellery Queen)

    Summer 1888. Sir Patrick Stacy White invites Holmes and Watson to his manor house near Reading. There has been mysterious death and Sir Patrick fears there will be more. The victim was Sir Patrick’s London Publisher, Oscar Rhineback, found beaten to death with a poker in the library of Stacy Manor.

    Oddly, the man had only just missed death or injury the day before when a cornice fell from the roof. Then too, the dead man crawled with tremendous effort to select a card from a deck on a nearby table. The card turned out to be the Ten of Spades. To make things worse a lady guest is knifed to death with the Jack of Spades in her clutch. Then a servant, Haskin Zehn who maintains Sir Patrick’s animal collection, is mauled to death by the lion from Sir Patrick menagerie, with a bloodied Queen of Spades beneath the body.

    Edward Hoch is an excellent writer and the flow of this story is superb. A very neat twist ending finishes the tale, as a small glass of wine might finish a gourmet meal. I definitely give this story five out of five stars!

    “The Strange Affair of the Cripple Parade (The Singular Affair of the Aluminum Crutch”) by William L DeAndrea (ascribed to Mickey Spillane)

    Watson has been savagely beaten, and he raves in his delirium about cripples. Both Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes are investigating the incident. Espionage is involved, as a captured foreign agent insists that his source is a heavily bandaged cripple.

    The solution to the problem will reach deeply into the Foreign Office. The twist on the clues is neat, and certainly worth four out of five stars!

    “Too Many Stains (The Adventure of the Second Stain)” by Marvin Kaye (ascribed to Rex Stout)

    This is the version of The Second Stain that Watson could not publish due to embarrassing the crown. Kaye’s retelling of the tale is quite the combo of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Rex Stout.

    Four out of five stars!
