Sherlock Holmes and the Voice from the Crypt and other tales

Title: Sherlock Holmes and the Voice from the Crypt and other tales

Author: Donald Thomas

Summary: This book features Sherlock Holmes on some real life cases, including Crippen and Neil Cream the poisoner. Some the cases were familiar to me, but some were not.

Recommendation: Only for diehard Holmes fans. It was a pretty good read, but as always for me, a little Holmes goes a long way. I just can't buy the way he takes a single look at a person and can 'deduce' his profession, how he traveled, and in this book, what music the man's wife had been practicing on the piano earlier in the day. Please.
