“The Deadly Sin of
Sherlock Holmes” by Tom English
“Eerily good fun,
reminded me a bit of ACD's 'The Silver Hatchet'. This is one to get caught up
in, and will send the shivers down your spine. Made all the better for it
capturing the essence of Sherlock Holmes.... Investigation played out the way
Holmes of Canon would have done, down to the last letter. Supernatural or no,
this was a genuinely well-done pastiche.”
“The tale overall is
very dark and contains quite a bit of conflict around the nature of faith and
sin -- not a traditional Holmes story, but very good despite that.”
“...This tale builds tension with an engaging and original
plot.”
“...A chilling
& succinctly told tale....”
“...A clever twist
that was both imaginative and chilling. I found it an excellent read.”
