After a three week disappearance, Watson finds Sherlock Holmes on an unused paddle steamer. At the request of a mysterious
client, he has constructed a time machine; the plans for which he
pilfered from Moriarty. In addition to commissioning the building of
the time machine, the client gives them Biblical
mysteries to solve.
Usually these require the sleuths to appear in other lands and other
times, sometimes dressed as natives, sometimes a Londoners.
The Biblical puzzles are all
fascinating. The author has done a considerable amount of research
and all his facts seem to be accurate. I enjoyed each one, although
some, like “The Hanging Man” were particularly well done.
I highly recommend this book, if you're
a Sherlock fan. I think the mysteries can be enjoyed by both
believers and non-believers for the sheer fun of the stories.
I reviewed this book for the Thomas
Nelson Booksneeze Program.
