Editorial Reviews

Praise for the Before Watson series:

"The author writes out of a deep knowledge of the Canon. Sly references to familiar characters and other stories abound. Reginald Musgrave, John Watson, Shinwell Johnson, Stanley Hopkins (Sr.) and others we have met before make welcome appearances, along with the not-yet-notorious Oscar Wilde." Baker Street Beat

”With eloquent, refined, and precise prose, this novel calls forth the ethos of the time and the nature of Sherlock’s mind. In A.S. Croyle’s The Bird and The Buddha, a young Sherlock Holmes stalks a serial killer with the aid of a lovely young doctor whose need to solve the mystery is almost as great as her passion for the romance-averse detective."
