By some splendid alchemy he channels the very spirit of Conan Doyle, creating utterly thrilling and boundlessly inventive new adventures for Baker Street's finest. Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing is a joy from start to finish, plotted and written with astonishing verve. I'm in awe; it's brilliant."" -- Tom Mead, author of the Joseph Spector Locked Room Mysteries ""Is the latest book edited by Mr. Meyer ‘the real thing’? If the actual question is, ‘Does the tale thrill and entertain in the genuine voice of John H. Watson, M.D.?’ the answer is a resounding and grateful ‘Yes!’ . . . A splendid tale, complete with an unforeseen villain!"" -- Leslie S. Klinger, editor, New Annotated Sherlock Holmes ""For me, Nicholas Meyer has managed the impossible, which is to sound exactly like Arthur Conan Doyle."" -- Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age ""Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing delivers everything a Holmes fan should expect from a great tale masterminded by Nicholas Meyer."" -- BookReporter ""Original, deftly crafted, and a fun read from cover to cover . . .
