Quotes & Awards

  • “With respect for the canon, deep knowledge of Victorian and Edwardian Great Britain, and the writing chops to replicate the Watsonian style, Thomas is the all-time best at Sherlockian pastiche.”

    Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine

  • “Thomas’ fourth pastiche collection conveys the tone and spirit of Conan Doyle’s original tales with nary a false note…This volume reinforces Thomas’ place in the front rank of Doyle imitators.”

    Publisher Weekly

  • “For those who hunger after Holmes…this new collection may fit the bill. Thomas has put together five novellas starring Holmes and Watson…Thomas effectively incorporates the history of the time, the plots twist nicely, and respect is paid to telling minutiae.”

    Booklist

  • “In this new collection of five Sherlockian short stories, the master sleuth is once again at the height of his powers with the aid of his constant companion, Dr. Watson, and, on occasion, Inspector Lestrade…Because Thomas has authored Sherlock Holmes anthologies (The Execution of Sherlock Holmes) and nonfiction books about Victorian-era crime (The Victorian Underworld), it’s hardly surprising that the atmosphere runs true in these stories, which could be mistaken for unpublished Arthur Conan Doyle tales. Recommended for Sherlock Holmes fans and readers who enjoy Victorian mysteries.”

    Library Journal

  • “Prolific Thomas, who’s made a cottage industry of ‘newly discovered’ Holmes cases, presents five tales starring the iconic sleuth…Thomas stretches the frames for Holmes’ cases to historical niches previously unexplored. Though not a great stylist, he’s a meticulous plotter, and the enticing puzzles seem just as long as they need to be.”

    Kirkus Reviews

  • “The cottage publishing market for books extending Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes and Watson characters continues with Thomas’ King’s Evil. This series of five novellas offers a concentrated mixture of mystery, history, detailed descriptions, and atmosphere reminiscent of Doyle’s original tales. Narrated by John Telfer, the audio production is basic, with little distinction among characters—the narrator is more of a reader of the text than a performer here. Though it probably won’t satisfy Holmesian purists, Thomas’ work, along with those from other post-Doyle Holmes authors such as Daniel D. Victor and Edward B. Hanna, may interest people who love the characters. Readers fond of Laurie King and other such writers also might like Thomas’ take on these iconic figures.”

Listener Opinions

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Patricia | 10/14/2009

    " A good book of new Holmes stories. These are told in the traditional Dr. Watson fashion; they are well done and good comfort reads. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Karen | 8/2/2009

    " A mediocre attempt at writing some short stories in the style of Conan Doyle. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Dustin | 7/3/2009

    " Much closer to the actual style of Doyle but adding some historical landscape around the characters. "
