Review: Murder in the Vatican: The Church Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes

Mini Review:

What I enjoyed about it were the stories themselves--three new mysteries, lots of comraderie and excitement and an interesting peek at international politics and religion of that age. Ann Lewis has a wonderful feel for the characters; you can tell she's a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Holmes pastiches--and to the casual mystery reader who enjoys Holmes' & Watson's adventures.

One note: Do not expect to see these guys modernized. Lewis stays as close to the era as possible. I'll leave it to others to speak to it's "authenticity." Still, to my inexpert eye, it's very close to the tone and approach of the Great Detective. That just makes the book that much more fun.
