This is one of the better Sherlock Holmes pastiches, of which there are hundreds. The giant rat is a case mentioned by the original author, Doyle, but never written up for publication. Author Boyer picks up the topic and creates a credible account of the story. It is a good, quick read with the requisite character detail for Holmes and Watson and worthy of any Holmes fan. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In deference to Sherlock Holmes's wishes, Dr Watson kept the tale of The Giant Rat of Sumatra a secret. However before he died he arranged that the bizarre story of the giant rat should be held in the vaults of a London bank until all the protagonists were dead.... Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless creation returns in a new series of handsomely designed detective stories. The Further Adventures series encapsulates the most varied and thrilling cases of the worlds' greatest detective. No library descriptions found. |

Overall, I did like this book, but I felt the story was overwritten for what it was; a Sherlockian mystery with a gothic horror element that is unfortunately explained away at the end. It was sort of an anti-climax for me (not necessarily a bad thing but here it was a little disappointing). Would I recommend this one? I don’t know. I wasn’t mad that I read it. I wasn’t bored throughout the whole thing. Well, if you feel the need for a Sherlock Holmes story, I guess this could scratch that itch. ( )
