In the Company of Sherlock Holmes: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon - Hardcover
Críticas
King and Klinger have not stuck to the usual suspects for this stellar anthology of sixteen new short stories that pay homage to the great detective.--Leslie S. Klinger
Great fun for anyone who loves crime fiction. The collection is diverting, delightful, and best taken with a cup of hot tea.--Hallie Ephron, bestselling author of 'Never Tell a Lie'
Delightful. The tales, all exceedingly clever, are sometimes in classic Holmesian style and time period; others make only passing reference to the great detective; and some have ingenious twists.
Original and intriguing. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will find plenty to appreciate in this collection.
The tales cover a wide variety of interpretations, from comedic to dark, and range from straight pastiches in Watson's voice to modern settings with Holmesian investigators. Surprising and twisty results.
Tantalizing. Enough variety for the dabbler, together with enough reverence for the canon to appeal to the true Holmes addict.
Boasts all-new stories, some featuring Holmes himself, others inspired by him, by such ace contemporary writers as Michael Connelly, Sara Paretsky and Jeffery Deaver.
Satisfy your Sherlock cravings with these superb stories.
The game is afoot for an eclectic collection of writers, including Sara Paretsky, Harlan Ellison, Denise Hamilton and Nancy Holder.
There are some gems. This book was conceived in fun, written in fun and edited in fun. It should be read in that spirit. For 127 years since his first case and for 84 years since the death of his creator, Sherlock Holmes is still entertaining us.
Reseña del editor
The Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were recently voted as the top mystery series of all time, and they have enthralled generations of readers—and writers!Now, Laurie R. King, author of the New York Times-bestselling Mary Russell series (in which Holmes plays a co-starring role), and Leslie S. Klinger, editor of the New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, have assembled a stellar group of contemporary authors from a variety of genres and asked them to create new stories inspired by that canon. Readers will find Holmes in times and places previously unimagined, as well as characters who have themselves been affected by the tales of Sherlock Holmes.The resulting volume is an absolute delight for Holmes fans both new and old, with contributions from Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Dirda, Harlan Ellison, Denise Hamilton, Nancy Holder, John Lescroart, Sara Paretsky, Michael Sims, and more. The game is afoot—again!
