Before Baker Street, there was Montague.

Before partnership with a former army doctor recently returned from Afghanistan, Sherlock Holmes had but the quiet company of his own great intellect. Solitary he might be but, living as he did for the thrill of the chase, it was enough.

For a little while, at the least, it was enough.

That is, until a client arrives at his door with a desperate plea and an invitation into a world of societal scandal and stage door dandies. Thrust deep in an all-consuming role and charged with the safe-keeping of another, Holmes must own to his limits or risk danger to others besides himself in this the case of the aluminium crutch.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M. K. Wiseman has degrees in animation/video and library science – both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Today, her office is a clutter of storyboards and half-catalogued collections of too, too many books. (But, really, is there such a thing as too many books?) When she’s not mucking about with stories, she’s off playing brač or lying in a hammock in the backyard of her Wisconsin home that she shares with her endlessly patient husband.

Fantastic

I loved the language so reminiscent of all the other Holmes mysteries. The convoluted twists and turns also a joy.

A Holmes adventure with two big handicaps

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2022

Verified Purchase

Here we have an account of the otherwise untold adventure of the "aluminium crutch." It has two problematic aspects. The adventure occurs during Holmes' early, solitary days on Montague Street, and the story is narrated by Holmes himself. Holmes' behavior is also uncharacteristic throughout... for instance, his female client lies to him repeatedly, yet he does not dump her. The case the client brings is a weird one... the man to whom she is unofficially engaged has been replaced by an imposter, who is evidently accepted as the real thing by everyone except her. Many aspects of the case are inherently confusing, and not well explained. I liked many features of the novel, including the attention to period customs and behavior, but on the whole I think this adventure will leave most readers somewhat unsatisfied.

Excellent Holmes style. Cool to see how it may have been before Watson. Grew up in Janesville. Many trips to Mad-Town. Keep the stories coming.

Before Watson And 221B Baker Street...

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021

Sherlock Holmes fans know well that Holmes lived at 221B Baker Street with his trusty companion, Dr. Watson, and his kindly landlady, Mrs. Hudson. M.K. Wiseman’s new novel explores the time before Dr. Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and 221B, when Holmes was a solo practitioner with nothing but his wits to keep him safe from the ne’er-do-wells he investigates.

M.K. (author of the award-winning Bookminder series) jumps again into the world of Holmes in Sherlock Holmes & the Singular Affair, M.K.’s second Holmesian novel, coming on the heels of Sherlock Holmes & the Ripper of Whitechapel. Singular Affair begins with Holmes accepting a case from Miss Eudora Frances Clarke, a distraught Englishwoman living in India, who has exchanged letters for years with her once childhood-friend and now would-be fiancé, Tobias-Henry Price, who lives in London. A trip to England for a funeral brought hopes to Miss Clarke that she could meet up with Price and cement their future together. Yet, when Miss Clarke shows up unexpectedly at Price’s Club, a total stranger announces himself as Tobias-Henry Price, and brushes off Miss Clarke’s inquiries.

The mystery of an imposter posing as Price has Miss Clarke fearing the worst. Is the real Tobias-Henry in danger? Are his feelings for her genuine? Why is another man posing as her intended fiancé? Has she unwittingly been the victim of a Victorian-era catfishing scheme? Holmes agrees to investigate, and begins to uncover a dark secret. Adventure, danger, and intrigue ensue, as Holmes attempts to unravel the mystery of Tobias-Henry Price.

Just like Ripper, Singular Affair is written in a loving homage to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is spot-on cannon accurate and approved by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate. The work feels like a long-lost story written by Sir Arthur that remained hidden for a hundred years. Any fan of the Great Detective will love the Singular Affair, and those who have yet to meet Mr. Holmes would have the pleasure of becoming a fan by reading this fantastic addition to the Holmesian universe.

Average but worth a read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

I read the authors first SH book which had an unsatisfactory but pre-ordered this one.

It's a quick read at 147 pages. The vernacular is much better and in keeping. Having no Watson was weird but Holmes narrating his own story was cool.

I feel this version is more like Robert Downey Juniors Holmes than Conan's Holmes. As I pictures the scenes I saw RDJ not another Holmes or even my own version.

This book will not change your life but will entertain you for a couple of hours....
