The Adventures of Mycroft Holmes, Book 1: The Other Mr. Holmes Kindle Edition

by Sam Bonnamy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
2.9 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
Mycroft Holmes is not so unlike his younger brother Sherlock. Mystery-solving and clever solutions set in the eighteen-eighties are afoot in a collection of tales featuring "The Other Mr. Holmes". Tearing through London in hansom cabs and knee-deep in the twists and turns in pursuit of adventure alongside Mycroft is his plucky, crack-shot mistress Anna.

Mycroft and Anna pursue whodunits around every winding corner in three adventures:
<>"The Adventure of the Royal Revelations": Queen Victoria's personal diary goes missing and an equerry is murdered. Certainly the murderer must be found; however, the Queen's comments on some of her ministers must never reach the Continental press. Mycroft is just the man to find the murderer and save Her Majesty's reputation. Mycroft and Anna attempt to keep the damning volume out of the hands of dastardly foreign agents.

"The Adventure of the Flame of the Natal Retrospect": Mycroft and Anna set out to save the reputation of a leading actress and keep the unique gemstone, the Flame of Natal, from the grasp of audacious thieves.

"The Adventure of the Reuters' Agent Summer": Mycroft and Anna cross swords with one of the deadliest enemies of Mycroft's brother--Colonel Sebastian Moran.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sam Bonnamy is married and lives in a village in the North of England. He likes country walks, trees, the garden and growing things, and is interested in history, literature, theatre, politics and philosophy. Apart from English he speaks two and a half languages (German, Spanish, and a bit of Italian).

Sam turned to writing after taking early retirement from teaching, and sees the internet as a major influence in the future of publishing. Sam Bonnamy is a pen name.

Favourite authors are P G Wodehouse because of his rich humour, his plot variety and his absolute mastery of the English language. To Wodehouse, add George Macdonald Fraser, whose Flashman novels inject a tidal wave of red blood into the insipid world of political correctness. Arthur Conan Doyle is obviously an influence, for without his work where would Mycroft be? And to Conan Doyle add Dorothy Sayers for her literary quality in the detective story, Thomas Hardy for his depth of feeling for the English countryside and people, and Anthony Trollope for his incisive eye. Shake in Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Bible and the unknown authors of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for good measure, and that gives an idea of Sam's reading scope.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Il fratello sbagliato
    Reviewed in Italy on February 8, 2017

    Se non fosse che l'autore, anche se sotto pseudonimo, viene descritto come maschio ex insegnante in pensione, si direbbe che questo set di racconti sia opera di una fan innamorata di Mycroft.
    Una fan che ha realizzato il suo sogno inserendosi nella storia, in perfetto stile Mary Sue, creando un personaggio fennimile che diventi il Watson della situazione. Personaggio che vive con Mycroft, all'interno del Diogene Club, travestita da uomo. Ex attrice, addestrata all'uso delle armi da Annie Oakley in persona, che arrossisce e sviene quando deve usare armi o entrare in contatto con uomini audaci... ma che nessuno, tranne altre donne, riescono a sgamare.
    C'è da dire che lo stile è molto più accurato rispetto ad un prodotto medio del genere. Ricalca quello utilizzato da Doyle per il suo Holmes e ne ripercorre i misteri.
    Ma vedere Mycroft sdilinquirsi e piagnucolare al pensiero della sua povera Anna ferita o in difficoltà mi fa accapponare la pelle.
    Ero curiosa di leggere qualcosa che avesse il maggiore degli Holmes come protagonista... ma con la coppia felice ho chiuso.
