The Three Monarchs: a Sherlock Holmes Short Story is written by Anthony Horowitz. It is (as the title states) a short story featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Holmes asks Dr. Watson to visit him at Baker Street while he is consulting with Inspector Athelney Jones of Scotland Yard about a very peculiar case. Clever, witty, detailed - Mr. Horowitz captures Sherlock Holmes perfectly. ***** I read this story on my Kindle and it includes an excerpt from Moriarty, a Sherlock Holmes novel, copyright 2014, also written by Mr. Horowitz. Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com If you are a Sherlock fan. like me, chances are you were watching the new episode yesterday, like me. Don't get me started on how rude it is to only provide one episode after two years of waiting (or how the series is dwelling a lot on how awesome it is). Luckily for us, there are other Sherlock Holmes stories to keep the waiting bearable. I've not been a fan of all the modern Sherlock Holmes stories, but when I was reading The House of Silk I was surprised by how well it captured the characters and how much I liked the writing. This is a (too) short story intended as a promotion. And even though it was too short to give the story anything substantial going on and to be really interesting, it did remind me of how much I liked The House of Silk and that I should certainly read Moriarty soon. I'd say, mission accomplished. The case is closed. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheSherlock Holmes (1.5)
The game is once again afoot in this thrilling mystery from the bestselling author of The House of Silk, sanctioned by the Conan Doyle estate, which explores what really happened when Sherlock Holmes and his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty tumbled to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz's nail-biting new novel plunges us back into the dark and complex world of detective Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty-dubbed the Napoleon of crime" by Holmes-in the aftermath of their fateful struggle at the Reichenbach Falls. Days after the encounter at the Swiss waterfall, Pinkerton detective agent Frederick Chase arrives in Europe from New York. Moriarty's death has left an immediate, poisonous vacuum in the criminal underworld, and there is no shortage of candidates to take his place-including one particularly fiendish criminal mastermind. Chase and Scotland Yard Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction originally introduced by Conan Doyle in "The Sign of Four", must forge a path through the darkest corners of England's capital-from the elegant squares of Mayfair to the shadowy wharfs and alleyways of the London Docks-in pursuit of this sinister figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, who is determined to stake his claim as Moriarty's successor. A riveting, deeply atmospheric tale of murder and menace from the only writer to earn the seal of approval from Conan Doyle's estate, Moriarty breathes life into Holmes's dark and fascinating world.

It's a great short story.
Typical Holmes sleuthing, reported by Watson.
I see it as a transition to the next Horowitz pastiche: "Moriarity". ( )
