An alternate view of Holmes and Moriarty
This book is an alternative presentation of the relationships between Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson and Professor Moriarty. It presents a somewhat altered narrative of events chronicled in the Canon as “A Study in Scarlet,” “The Greek Interpreter,” “The Sign of Four” and “The Final Problem.” For the most part, the narratives are supplied naturally from the viewpoints of the characters involved but there are a few uncomfortable lapses to an over-all view by the author. It is certainly ingenious and it presents a plausible alternate explanation of the reactions of the Canonical characters as well as the events involved, given the assumptions made. It is a dark piece, with the reader being asked to take a less rosy view of Victorian life than that presented in the more familiar versions of these tales. Both Holmes and Watson appear to have darker sides along with other, familiar characters. The influence of Professor Moriarty is followed in some detail and the warts on both Holmes and Watson are shown in similar detail. Given these assumptions, the resulting book is entertaining, if not so pleasant as the Canonical version of these events. On the other hand, one feels there is a more realistic view of the world presented here. It is a disturbing experience and one that should produce serious thought among Sherlockians. Some of the glaring, internal contradictions in the Canon are explained in this book and supplanted with doubts about the nature of the principal characters in the Canon. Most of the actions and opinions presented are, as I said, plausible. There do, however, remain several elements in the portrait presented of Mycroft that are not adequately explained or even integrated into the narrative. This failure by the author is a distinct defect in the effort and it detracted from the credibility of the rest of the material. In short, this is a well constructed alternative view of the basic events of the Sherlockian Canon. It presents a different view of Holmes’ career and his relationship with “his Boswell” and “the Professor.” It is mostly internally self-consistent, if dark and unsettling to Sherlockians. It is pretty well thought out but lacks a few pence in the pound. Reviewed by: Philip K. Jones; April, 2007.Read full review
