Sherlock Holmes and the Ghost of the Flying Dutchman by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Book Description Holmes and Watson are at it again. They now face the second great challenge in Fullenkamp's Holmes Trilogy. Ancient ghost and legends return to haunt them at every turn. A must read. It's mystery, adventure and romance! Reader Reviews 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Not the Holmes I Know, October 28, 2002 Reviewer: irulan from St. Paul, MN USA This book is very good, if you don't like the original Sherlock Holmes. It is well written and very interesting, but it couldn't be further away from the original character. Some of my biggest pet peeves include: the dates are all wrong (this book takes place in 1882 after Holmes and Watson have known each other for years?), Watson now has an injured back instead of leg/shoulder, Holmes was tortured as a child and falls in love with some Irish widow. It's just weird, and is not faithful to the original. If you like Conan Doyle's stories, steer clear. If you don't know much about Holmes, go read something else. If you don't like Holmes and want an interesting book, then this one is for you.
