This has been in our collection for years. Now, I found reading about Sherlockians amusing example: But reading a Holmes novel written from Watson's point of view in Doyle's style My fears would've been allayed if I'd read the author's info beforehand: His novel 'Prisoner of the Devil' is considered by many to be the finest of all the Sherlock Holmes adventures written since Conan Doyle's death.

The first third or half of it frustrated me to no end, most likely because I'm so used to the short-story formats of most of Doyle's works. But the payoff was worth it, and I could easily see this story made into a movie Jun 28, Alex Bledsoe rated it liked it. This Sherlockian pastiche was written back when the Doyle estate still held the copyright on Holmes, and had to okay any uses of the character.

That approval operated as a kind of quality control that's now sadly lacking since Holmes moved into the public domain. As a result, Hardwick gets the most crucial thing right: The title is also a misnomer: It's clearly not Doyle--for one thing, he never wrote a true Holmes novel, just longer serialized stories. And although the plot does pull together at the end, there are some extreme coincidences that are clearly author's conveniences.

Still, a Sherlockian could do worse. Jul 02, Robert Johnson rated it really liked it. I have not read a Sherlock Holmes book in many years, in fact the last book was The Hound of the Baskerville so the title pulled me in.

Hardwick has done a masterful job. Feb 05, Patrick Ewing rated it it was amazing. Feb 24, Alberta rated it liked it. When I began reading the book, I had difficulty maintaining my interest in the story.

After the first couple chapters I then began enjoying the story and would recommend it to any Sherlockian. Jan 02, Dan rated it it was ok. There are many authors out there that attempt to keep the flame alive for Sherlock Holmes, sadly few know where to even look for the matches much less light the fire. This book falls into that category. If you are going to attempt to write a sequel of sorts to a classic like The Hound of the Baskervilles, you better have some big literary cajones.

My only solace in ready this book is that i did purchase it online, used, for only a couple of bucks. If i would Boring. If i would have bought this new, you would be able to hear my sobs from your living room. Two great authors that have taken Sherlock Holmes and Watson to a new level. Stay away from this one. Oct 11, Erth rated it it was amazing. This was such a great, easy and creative book. The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story.

I have read other authors trying to mimic ACD, but they were usually miserable attempts and painful to read. Michael Hardwick does an excellent job in creating a similar atmosphere as ACD had done. What a fun book! Not only does it move faster than The Hound of the Baskervilles did, it's written in the same style and one is able to imagine all the things just the way they would've been in Holmes' day. Quite an original idea too, continuing a series of a well-known and well-loved author. Sep 07, Rena Sherwood rated it it was amazing Shelves: Originally published in , this is arguably Hardwick's best fiction book or, at least, the best of the few I've read so far.

Highly recommended for fans of Sherlock Holmes in the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as opposed to any Holmes interpretation on the large or small screens.
