The second volume of the best anthology of Sherloc
This book is the second of a series of three Sherlockian anthology volumes from MX Publications and it includes stories set in the period 1890 through 1895. All of the authors have donated their royalties for this publication to the support of Undershaw.
The second volume includes nineteen short stories and one poem.
The poem is "The Bachelor of Baker Street Muses on Irene Adler," by Carole Nelson Douglas. It is an interesting collection of verses that examines Sherlock's attitude towards "The Woman." "The Affair of Miss Finney," by Ann Margaret Lewis examines an oft neglected crime, rape, and displays the varying attitudes toward this crime in Victorian times. "The Adventure of the Bookshop Owner," by Vincent W. Wright Presents a complex murder rooted in an obscure past. "The Singular Case of the Unrepentant Husband," by William Patrick Maynard explains the identity of Mrs. Turner, who appeared in "A Scandal in Bohemia" (SCAN) and was never seen again. It also presents an apparently supernatural occurrence as well as an apparently similar comeuppance. "The Verse of Death," by Matthew Booth presents a locked room murder with a surprising history.
"Lord Garnett's Skulls," by J. R. Campbell combines mistaken gossip, old Victorian practices and inabilities to "listen" into a complex investigation for Holmes. "Larceny in the Sky with Diamonds," by Robert V. Stapleton tells us of the Professor's last caper before he heads off to the Reichenbach to meet Holmes. Sam Wiebe's "The Glennon Falls" tells of a shaping incident in Professor Moriarty's past that helped lead him to the Reichenbach. In "The Adventure of the Sleeping Cardinal," by Jeremy Branton Holstein, Watson and Insp. Lestrade investigate a robbery for Mycroft during "The Great Hiatus." "The Case of the Anarchist's Bomb," by Bill Crider, precedes "The Adventure of the Empty House" by a month or so as Mycroft asks Watson to investigate a bombing that killed an anarchist.
"The Riddle of the Rideau Rifles," by Peter Calamai, originally appeared in an anthology devoted to adventure tales centered on the Rideau Canal Waterway. This updated edition tells of an attempt by Canadian unionists to stir up trouble with the USA. Lyndsay Faye's "The Adventure of the Willow Basket" tells of Lestrade's feelings about "The Great Hiatus" and introduces a truly remarkable murder weapon. "The Onion Vendor's Secret," by Marcia Wilson, introduces the reader to a remarkable brotherhood that grew up in England in the 19th Century and ties up some loose ends from "The Hound of the Baskervilles". Jack Grochot's "The Case of the Murderous Numismatist" introduces the reader to one of Holmes' informers and to a remarkable policewoman as well as to a murderous coiner. Bert Coules gives us "The Saviour of Cripplegate Square" which was written as the fifth hour-long episode of the BBC radio series, "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." These episodes were written to tell Untold Tales and this is the tale of "...the most winning woman I ever knew...." As cited in The Sign of Four. It is chilling, on several levels.
"A Study in Abstruse Detail," by Wendy C. Fries clarifies several Untold Tales cited in the Canon. These include "The famous Smith-Mortimer succession case" cited in "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez ," "Venomous lizard, or Gila..." cited in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire" and "...the case of Vamberry, the wine merchant...," cited in "The Musgrave Ritual." "The Adventure of St. Nicholas the Elephant," by Christopher Redmond tells of how Holmes solved a most puzzling murder on the grounds of an historic church using observation and deduction. In "The Lady on the Bridge," Mike Hogan tells of Holmes fostering "true love" by deterring a persistent, elderly suitor and aiding an eligible bachelor to marry a winsome French mademoiselle, or so it seems. In "The Adventure of the Poison Tea Epidemic," professional chemist Carl Heifetz describes Holmes' "...researches in Early English charters..." cited in "The Adventure of the Three Students" along with his findings. "The Man on Westminster Bridge," by Dick Gillman, has Holmes and Watson investigate a unique method of cheating in a Gentleman's club at the request of Mycroft.
This second volume continues the excellent tradition set by the first book in the series. There are fewer stories and not quite so many outstanding ones, but the good tales are very good and their number includes most of the tales in the book. All are worth reading, a few are outstanding and most are very good indeed.
