In this e-original short story, Sherlock Holmes and James Watson come together once again to uncover the motive behind a robbery gone awry. When an elderly man shoots an intruder he finds in his home, it seems like a clear case of self-defense. What's not so clear is why the robber was there. His bag contains no solver or jewelry only three crude ceramic figurines of Queen Victoria which were mass produced for her Golden Jubilee.

I liked it.
It's a great short story.
Typical Holmes sleuthing, reported by Watson.
I see it as a transition to the next Horowitz pastiche: "Moriarity". ( )

The Three Monarchs: a Sherlock Holmes Short Story is written by Anthony Horowitz.
It is (as the title states) a short story featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Holmes asks Dr. Watson to visit him at Baker Street while he is consulting with
Inspector Athelney Jones of Scotland Yard about a very peculiar case.
Clever, witty, detailed - Mr. Horowitz captures Sherlock Holmes perfectly.
*****
I read this story on my Kindle and it includes an excerpt from Moriarty,
a Sherlock Holmes novel, copyright 2014, also written by Mr. Horowitz. ( )

If you are a Sherlock fan. like me, chances are you were watching the new episode yesterday, like me. Don't get me started on how rude it is to only provide one episode after two years of waiting (or how the series is dwelling a lot on how awesome it is). Luckily for us, there are other Sherlock Holmes stories to keep the waiting bearable.

I've not been a fan of all the modern Sherlock Holmes stories, but when I was reading The House of Silk I was surprised by how well it captured the characters and how much I liked the writing. This is a (too) short story intended as a promotion. And even though it was too short to give the story anything substantial going on and to be really interesting, it did remind me of how much I liked The House of Silk and that I should certainly read Moriarty soon.

I'd say, mission accomplished. The case is closed. ( )
