Editorial Reviews

“Had Doyle himself written Holmes a son, it would have been Jonathan. A mystery and adventure well worth investigating.” Mitch Cullin, Author of "A Slight Trick of the Mind".

“SON OF SHERLOCK is an extraordinary work of historical fiction. The reader is dropped into the realistic, while fictional world of the Sherlock Holmes we know so well, yet with twists and turns that are fresh and delightful. With one simple conceit, the imagined son of the famous detective, we become immersed in not only a sideways look at the classic world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but also in the totally real historical world of Victorian England. Ms. Raymond spins the two together seamlessly, with results that will charm, humor and utterly surprise you.” Andrew Sugerman, Film Producer

"Sherlock Holmes, the next generation - and what a generation he is! Author Amanda C. Raymond makes a stunning debut by creating an enthrallingly astute young protagonist who is every bit worthy of his celebrated lineage. Add to that a beautifully realized Victorian world, engaging characters and an enticing mystery which will keep readers turning the pages. A must for fans of the Canon, or any lovers of wonderful books which a reader simply can't put down." Brooks Wachtel, Emmy Award Winning Writer, and author of “Lady Sherlock: Circle of the Smiling Dead”
