Humbug…
My thanks to Steve and Timi at MX Publishing for my review copy of this book.
The story is of a host, unnamed until the very end, who demonstrates a number of card tricks, a pendulum, and a set of “fairy rings.” Then there is a cutaway explaining the nature of each trick.Then the action cuts away to Holmes giving his thoughts on the trick.
Mentioned during the reveal of the tricks are Jack the Ripper, with a favorite or two from the author as to JTR’s identity; Holmes’ “closet of the mind;” Mrs. Jean Conan Doyle’s medium séances, and the infamous “Cottingley Fairies.”
When the reader finishes the book, turn back to the cover. Notice the title, and the very macabre cover illustration. Depending on where you are from you should now notice that you have been humbugged by the author into taking this book seriously enough to spend £6.99, ₤7.95, or $9.95 for this farce. That is if you didn’t spring $11.95 for the audible version…
Really now, a star at all is generous! This is another illustration of how the name Sherlock Holmes and an interesting cover will sell a book…
Quoth the Raven…
