A good Sherlock Holmes pastiche is a great attraction. In this volume - good stories that I wanted to read to the end. Christian? I am a serious Christian, and see it as a relationship with God through Jesus, the Christianity, mostly in the very first two stories is more a "behavioral Christianity." The problem - why only two stars? - The grammar. The author does not know vocabulary, "Throws" instead of "throes;" "course" instead of "coarse," or grammar, "you're" instead of "your," nor does he know the difference between "I" and "me," the title of this review would be a typical line in this book. You will be bothered if "your" a relatively purist English reader.

Not real enthused with novel. Stories are not typical canon. Holmes under used with too much Dr. Watson. On whole a disappointment. Would not recommend. EH

I must confess, although I am a fan of ACD's literary works, one can only reread the canon so many times. So searching for fresh takes on the Great Detective I happened upon Watson's Sampler: The Lost Casebook of Sherlock Holmes by William F. Watson, Jr., with happy results. This book contains four nicely crafted tales (my favorite: The Phantom of Farewell Street) with characters true to the spirit of ACD's original stories.
So if you are a coinsurer of the very best in mystery fiction like The Crime Doctor, Sherlock Holmes : The Complete Novels and Stories (Bantam Classic) Volume I, or Raymond Chandler: Stories and Early Novels: Pulp Stories / The Big Sleep / Farewell, My Lovely / The High Window (Library of America), then I am certain that this thrilling novel will provided you with quite a few lively nights of suspenseful reading.

This book was more religious pap than Sherlock Holmes mystery. Holmes, the ultimate rationalist, spouting scripture? Please. In the very first story, Holmes and Watson are even visited by Father Christmas and Holmes is turned cheerful by the spirit of Christmas and the realization of the ultimate power of goodness. If you are looking for a genuine Holmes and Watson story this is not it, don't waste your money. If you are looking for "Christian literature", then perhaps you will enjoy this.

Mr Watson has a winner here. I was given this book by my husband. I had not read Sherlock Holmes stories in years. I enjoyed Watson's Sampler immensely and at the end of the book I was looking for more stories.The writing and dialogue in the book is superb. I live in New England and two of the stories have their setting in Newport Rhode Island. All of the stories held such an element of suspense that it was hard to put this book down. I really wanted more stories. I am recommending it to friends and family alike. Am hoping to see and read more of Mr Watson's work in the future
