Alt. Sherlock. Holmes by Jamie Wyman, Gini Koch, Glen Mehn, part 1 A follow up to ‘ Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets ’ reprints three short stories from that anthology and presents three novellas spun off from those short stories. A Scandal In Hobohemia It is the Dust Bowl early thirties. Crash is a cranky brilliant loner bedevilled by a feral threat from an unknown enemy. Alas no poignancy or complete plausibility is present. This was dull. This is a reprint from ‘ Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets ’. The Case Of The Tattooed Bride This is a sequel to ‘ Hobohemia ’. It sees Crash and Walker hang out at disreputable haunts in this stultifying tale. Crash’s unknown arch enemy/elusive evil reveals his pointed intent in a cliffhanger ending. This was all studied quirks and joylessness. All The Single Ladies This is a tale of a modern day Holmes and Watson. The female Holmes saves Watson from the wiles of a serial killer and reality TV. This reprint from ‘Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets’ is not a subtle iteration.
