Even the great McBain chokes up a hairball now and then.

Doyle sure liked back story – ok for a rainy day.

A complex and interesting tale. Pretty good for a first novel.

Keeps a pretty fast pace. Ending is a bit too neat, but not bad overall.

A surprisingly good read. Bus lingo is a little over the top, but not out of place.

Lightning

One of the more bleak 87th stories.

Lightning

The Sign of the Four

Good for a quick read.

Hard to believe it is almost 30 years old – a bit hard to follow in places, but worth the effort.
