Speaker 1: Welcome to the w BZ Book Club. I'm Jordan Rich.
Speaker 1: It's pure elementary, nothing like a good Sherlock Holmes and
Speaker 1: Watson's story, and having read through most of Arthur Conan
Speaker 1: Doyle's collection, it's always been great fun for me to
Speaker 1: search out other authors who capture the essence of Sherlock Holmes,
Speaker 1: much like the original creator. One such author was the
Speaker 1: late Donald Thomas, who's brought several collections of Sherlock Holmes
Speaker 1: stories to print, masterfully drawn mysteries featuring our favorite characters,
Speaker 1: Holmes and Watson, Inspector Lestrade, the Baker Street Irregulars, and
Speaker 1: a host of new characters. The one I'm currently reading
Speaker 1: and enjoying is the Execution of Sherlock Holmes New Adventures
Speaker 1: of the Great Detective. Several long form stories, including one
Speaker 1: in which Holmes is captured and tortured by a slew
Speaker 1: of criminal minds intent on bringing him to the gallows,
Speaker 1: but as you can imagine, through his wits and while
Speaker 1: he figures out a way to escape and move on
Speaker 1: to other fascinating cases. The writing crisp and traditional, and
Speaker 1: as many Sherlockians degree few authors have done it as
Speaker 1: well as Donald Thomas, and that's the book Club. W BZ,
