Nick Dunn-Meynell's new collection features twelve sequels to the original stories in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, first published in The Strand from 1891 to 1892. This book presents a series of conversations between Holmes and Watson, occurring immediately after each of the original adventures. Instead of traditional investigations, these stories delve into the inconsistencies and contradictions of the Canonical Adventures, twisting and reconstructing them into something fresh and thought-provoking. Dense with material, they are filled with Easter Eggs for keen readers. The author's subtle humor and affection for Holmes and Watson shine through, with references connecting each story and hinting at a larger narrative. These tales invite contemplation and should not be rushed. Additionally, Dunn-Meynell incorporates references to works of art from London's National Gallery, revealing hidden aspects and meanings. The collection offers much to enjoy and ponder, with some stories providing surprising humor while others highlight overlooked contradictions in the Canon. While these aren't typical Holmes adventures, they are certainly worth the time to savor and explore. Enjoy...
