Sherlock Holmes, the Missing Years: Japan by Vasudev Murthy, 288 pages

I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes and am always excited to find a new entry in the field. This one covers part of the time frame of Sherlock's missing years while he was supposedly dead. It has Watson and Sherlock making their way to Japan to shut down Moriarty's entry into the opium trade. While I will read just about anything with Holmes in it, this just didn't read true. I felt that Watson's letters to his publisher were a little hokey, and the segments of the stories told from the notes of the other characters weren't true to Doyle's writing style. I would say that I would be hesitant to pick up another Sherlock Holmes book by this author.
