The first part of this book, The Secret Cases, should have remained secret, wIth Holmes smug, haughty and impotent, unable to influence anything worthwhile. I kept reading, but every story had the same Holmes where we're lucky to get no more than one useless input each. Needless to say, I did not finish this book.

So-so collection of material on crime in Victorian-era England. The chapters on prostitution and pornography aren't terribly interesting, and while the chapters on burglary and murder are rather more interesting, it's pretty much a rehash of what you can find in other books. All right, but nothing particularly spectacular.

Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, 1775-1860, was a legend in his lifetime and this brilliant biography makes clear that he achieved enough to fill several lifetimes, firstly as a audacious and brilliant naval tactician, in the final years of the struggle against Napoleon, but also as a politician, reformer and inventor. He also found time to act as a mercenary Admiral, playing a vital role in the independence struggles of Peru, Chile, Brazil and also, latterly, Greece. There are darker aspects to Cochrane's story, who was involved in a murky stock Exchange scandal and was an unabashed admirer of Napoleon but, all in all, a very remarkable individual indeed.… (altro)
