REVIEWS
There are few if any better pastiche writers at work at the present time....and if you are thinking of writing one yourself, then use these three books as a template, you would not go wrong. Thrills, quite, quite wonderful dialogue between the main characters, well, to be honest between all the characters. There are a few trilogies around, there are a few series around but Mike Hogan's Holmes, Watson and young Winston stand head and shoulders above the rest. ***** entertainment.

The Baker Street Society
If you are looking for more Holmes stories or just interested in a good read--you can't go wrong with this new book by Mike Hogan. Superb Holmes and Watson and seasoned with just the right amount of mystery and humor.

Sherlock Holmes: The Scottish Question, or Sons of the Thistle
Starts with the reported theft of the Coronation Stone from Westminster Abbey (but is it the real Stone of Destiny?), leading Holmes to uncover a plot by Scottish nationalists to destroy the Union. In the shadows, behind the plot, is a foreign power, whose aim goes beyond the dismantling of the United Kingdom. Terrorism, espionage, danger and hair’s-breadth escapes make The Scottish Question a political thriller rather than a detective story – and why not? There’s also wit, and a pinch of satire in the mix. Mr Hogan writes well too.
