The West End Horror: A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D. by Nicholas Meyer
5.0
Another very interesting Sherlock Holmes story by Nicholas Meyer.
He has a good read on the characters and can definitely spin a very interesting tale similar to the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Both Holmes and Watson can shine and the general tone seems authentic. As this novel also features several non-fictional characters from the Victorian era, such as Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde, this adds a very interesting, realistic aspect to the story and as a history buff, I enjoyed the glimpses or full-fledged characterisation by Nicholas Meyer. His handling of these historical characters was also well-done.
All in all, this is an enjoyable read for every Sherlock Holmes fan.
