Watson, M.D. (Norton Paperback) $13.95 The title of my review is taken from Chapter 5 of Part One of this novel...as it seemed fitting, considering what the 'seven per cent solution' of the title refers to, which is the cocaine addiction of Sherlock Holmes which his friend and companion, Dr. John Watson, endeavors to help release him from...which begins the 'journey through the fog' of the drug addicted mind of Sherlock Holmes. Having read only one true Conan-Doyle Holmes adventure thus far, that being The Sign of the Four; this novel represents my fourth 'Holmes' story....the others all having been written long after Conan-Dolye's death. Of this particular novel I can say that it truly does live up to the original thrill that Conan-Doyle created with the 'World's Greatest Detective'. In this bit of Holmes pastiche, the detective's mortal enemy, Professor Moriarty, comes to Watson with a dilemma.....that he is, in fact, the persecuted party....being maligned by none other than Holmes himself for 'crimes' of which he is entirely innocent. Watson and Holmes' brother, Mycroft; finding credibility to Moriarty's claim, decide that it is long past time to help Sherlock overcome his cocaine addiction, which has apparently transformed the innocent Moriarty into the monster that Holmes imagines him to be. Thereby, the game is afoot as Watson and Mycroft attempt to trick the most intuitive and observing man in the world...no easy feat. The story is every bit as much as page turner as I found The Sign of Four to be. For lovers of the adventures of the resident of Baker Street, London; give this 'continuation' of his legend a chance. I will certainly be searching out the other two Holmes novels from author Nicholas Meyer for future enjoyment. |
