The Canary Trainer Listener Reviews
-
" The fifth and hardest Phantom related novel I've managed to add to my collection. It's not quite as good as The Angel of the Opera but still well done in it's own way. "

" This was the Phantom of the Opera ala Sherlock Holmes. "
— Raymond, 8/25/2013 -
" I have read all three of Nicholas Meyer's Sherlock Holmes pastiches and this was perhaps the best one. Holmes is in Paris and his nemesis...the Phantom of the Opera! "

" A retelling of the Phantom of the Opera, with Holmes after the bad guy. Interesting background, but the story was not as good as in The West End Horror, by the same author. "
— Cindy, 2/25/2012 -
" More of a Sherlock Holmes story that just so happens to involved TPOTO, unlike The Angel of the Opera which seems to me to be the reverse. "
— Tammy, 2/5/2012 -
" Last of the Nicholas Meyer takes on Sherlock Holmes, it is an enjoyable mashup of Holmes and the Phantom of the Opera. "

" not bad. i was put off by the whole 'omg, irene adler is in it' crap, but she's only in it for like 2 chaps and then she goes away and never comes back. the rest of the story is pretty interesting, with the same goofy humor and celebrity appearances you can expect in a nicholas meyer pastiche. "
