I enjoyed this for several reasons, the most important of which is the POV narrative. In other words, while I've read stories with new characters that took place after the rise of Sherlock and spins on stories Doyle never wrote, this is the first where the POV storyteller is Doyle himself where he's playing the Dr. Watson role along side Dr. Bell, who is obviously the model for Sherlock.. Well done, plenty of surprises and could make a good film too. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The detective team of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dr. Joseph Bell star in this "ingenious" historical mystery (The New York Times Book Review). As many fans of Sherlock Holmes know, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle found inspiration for the great fictional detective in a brilliant Scottish surgeon named Joseph Bell. In an era when science was not often considered in the course of criminal investigations, Bell's emphasis on observation and deduction made him a pioneer in forensics. In The Dark Water, Holmes's creator joins forces with Dr. Bell to take on Victorian vagabonds, criminal masterminds, and all manner of mysteries. The pair relentlessly pursues the vicious killer Thomas Neill Cream--and visits a sleepy seaside town where a seventeenth-century legend known as the Dunwich witch has taken on new life. With "a gripping plot and psychologically sophisticated characters" (Publishers Weekly, starred review), The Dark Water is a thrilling, atmospheric adventure for historical mystery lovers, offering "an intellectual treat and a downright guilty pleasure" (The Washington Post).

I, for one, hope Cream stays dead. Had enough of him already. Stand alone stories are best
