Summary: Abyssmal, wooden and trite; The Waste of a Grand Premise
Review: Rather than read this book, the prospective reader is advised to re-read The Seven Percent Solution by Nicholas Meyer. "Sherlock in Love" is perhaps the worst Holmsian pastiche that this reviewer has ever read. The author has no feeling for any of the historical periods about which she attempts to write. Unfortunately, the author has not been able to carry any sort of an authorial voice like that of either Conan Doyle or his, wonderful alter ego, Dr. John Watson. This is an extraordinary disappointment. A fine premise is lost in poor execution.

Summary: Not a bad novel. Too much for Sherlock lovers.
Review: The novel is not bad, excepting the part in which the author tries to insert a past case of the master. The line is correct and entertaining -up to the already mentioned part- and then the end, is a little too much for the Sherlock aficionado. It is not as bad as "The last Sherlock Holmes case" though.I honestly think that the author was going to write a good book until she had to create the case of "Mad King Ludwig", from that point on, I felt she improvised and did not know how to get out of her own mess, leaving me with a sour after taste. In her defense, I love Sherlock, and I think the original work is unbeatable. Against her, I also like to read about Holmes, almost everything that comes to me, and I am very understanding with all the pastiches, and do not compare them with the original. Do I recommend it to the Holmes's followers? No, unless you just can't stop reading about Sherlock, are curious about it, and/or somebody lend it to you. If you read it and liked it, you will like "Larry Millet's books".

Summary: Absolutely preposterous
Review: This is one of the two or three worst parodies--I won't dignify them as pastiches--of Sherlock Holmes that I have ever read. The premise does not make sense, the book is badly written, and the denouement will leave a very bad taste in your mouth. If you are fond of Holmes avoid this book like the plague.
