How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother great collection!
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018
Another great collection of Holmes & Watson pastiches by many of today's very talented writers, many known to me, some new. The tales within are consistent with the style, characters, era and locations of those in the Canon. The attention to details consistent with the Canon stories is staggering! I was also impressed with the editing and the "clean" text (only a few minor errors). This is my favorite so far in this series. I highly recommend it!

2.0 out of 5 starsGone to the well once too often, maybe.
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2017
A couple of excellent stories, but most are below average, and a couple that made me want to throw the book away.
I know this is for charity, but even buying it on sale I feel ripped off. Sad, as I have loved the other books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A collection of the best authors for recreating Holmes' adventures.
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
Having read the previous 5 collections, I expected - and found - a level of writing skill among the authors that more closely followed Doyle's model, than most other writers pursuing this re-creative challenge. The application of profits from these books to the restoration of Doyle's former London home has given me additional incentive to buy the books in this series. An all around good deal.

The stories are fantastic! Being a Sherlock Holmes/Dr. John Watson fan for many years, it's so gratifying to be able to enjoy the further exploits of my two favorite literary figures. Stories are so well-done and written with love. I have purchased all 12 books in this series and will continue to do so in the future! Keep them coming :)

This book delivers exactly what it promised. As good as the first 5 in the series and here's hoping they continue to please with each new release.

I continue to enjoy Mr. Marcum's ode to the Watsonian "over soul". While some of the stories are somewhat less than "page turners" the over all excellence shows through.

4.0 out of 5 stars The First 30 Cases are Good, Last 5 are Not
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
Overall, an interesting addition to the collection of Holmes pastiches, and for the most part a worthy entry. It is a definite improvement on Part V - Christmas Adventures.
Most of the works are good, right from 'The Adventure of the Murdered Spinster' to the 30th case 'The Problem of the Holy Oil'. However, the next few cases are a bit of a let down, particularly 'A Scandal in Serbia', which meanders all over the place, tampers with the canon and tries to reintroduce a particularly popular and elusive character. 'The Curious Case of Mr. Marconi' and 'Die Weisse Frau' are very pedantic, while 'Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson Learn to Fly' is amateurish. 'A Case of Mistaken Identity' is a poor attempt to re-knit historical events and another author into a Holmes case, and thus falls through the cracks.

In short, enjoy the first 30, avoid the last 5.
