'The Sherlock Holmes Stories of Edward D. Hoch' collects the prolific writer's twelve Sherlock Holmes stories. Hoch saw publication in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (among others). He is credited with writing over 950 short stories (and a number of novels).
The stories represented here interweave with Holmes' career and happen throughout his life. Some involve Dr. Watson and some are solo cases. Some involve real people and events. One story has Sherlock Holmes aboard the Titanic with author Jacques Futrelle. Another features Lewis Carroll.
The stories in this book are all fun to read, but feel more like the old films with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The mysteries aren't taxing and sometimes not very reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, but I still enjoyed them.
I was given a review copy of this ebook by Open Road Integrated Media and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.
