review 1: Not much by way of "Perils" involved here and the stories are somewhat simplistic. It takes no great genius to work out the mysteries involved, much less do the stories require the talents of Sherlock Holmes! Instead the tales are predicated largely on bringing Holmes and Watson together with characters like Tiny Tim (of Dickens' "Carol") and Wyatt Earp among others. Still and all, Estleman does a fair to middling job of capturing Doyle's style. "The Serpent's Egg" is the most promising of the group and yet is unfinished. Too bad.
review 2: Table of Contents:"The Serpent's Egg" published here for the first time."Channeling Holmes" from The Ghosts in Baker Street."The Adventure of the Arabian Knight" from Murder in Baker Street."The Adventure of the Three Ghosts... more" from Holmes for Holidays."The Riddle of the Golden Monkeys" from Murder, My Dear Watson."Dr. and Mrs. Watson at Home: A Comedy in One Unnatural Act" from The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."The Adventure of the Coughing Dentist" from Sherlock Holmes in America."The Adventure of the Greatest Gift" from More Holmes for the Holidays."The Devil and Sherlock Holmes" from The Ghosts in Baker Street."On the Significance of Boswell's" from Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories."Was Sherlock Holmes the Shadow" from The Baker Street Journal.The stories are inconsistent and some appear to be hastily written. I usually like Estleman a lot, sadly this was not one of his best efforts. less
