The Adventures of Inspector Lestrade by M.J. Trow
3.0
In my never ending mission to read as many Sherlock Holmes pastiches as I can... we'll try this one!
OK, not bad. Not great, but not bad. This is about Inspector Lestrade, Holmes' main contact at Scotland Yard. In this story, Lestrade is not a buffon, as Conan Doyle sometimes portrays him. I did enjoy the character.
I had a tough time following some of the plot, but it got rolling in the end. And the Struwwelpeter plays a major role (see fertileplots entry about this).
One very odd thing - there are two random sex scenes in this book. Not well done. Not appropriate. Do not fit with the story. No reason for them. Very odd.
