Book Synopsis:
An invitation. A ghostly spectre. A criminal mastermind.
When Sherlock Holmes is invited to visit an old school friend, he and Doctor Watson are plunged into the first of three adventures involving the Dark Arts and the supernatural. From the ghostly spectre of a dead sister to the search for an ancient book of spells, the detecting duo learn that each case is connected, leading them into a final showdown with their deadliest adversary yet.
My Review:
The Watson Letters is a funny, entertaining read which I think is a very clever take on the original story.
Firstly I absolutely loved the characters in this book and enjoyed following them throughout the story. They were all very different to each other and brought different things to the investigation. The book is told mainly through diary extracts and I thought it was very clever how each character had their own voice.
This book is actually three stories in one and it was great fun trying to solve the investigations alongside the characters. The different stories gradually combined to make a thrilling ending in a realistic and satisfying way which I always enjoy.
Overall I liked this book and look forward to reading more from this author soon. This is actually the sixth book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone. There is lots of adult humour included and a few pop cultural references which I loved.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. I’m looking forward to going back and reading the rest of the books in the series.
