The enigmatic army officer Captain JAC Smethwick is a veteran of the The Charge of the Light Brigade. But when he visits Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson he has more on his mind than the conflict in the Crimea. There is a mystery surrounding the death of his former employer, Lord Cardigan. Smethwick believes that the man responsible for his death is none other than the former Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.

Holmes sends Watson off to Deene Park, Lord Cardigan's estate, to investigate and question the victim's widow - the colourful and flirtatious Adeline de Horsey. But Watson starts to uncover an altogether more sinister and complex conspiracy. And rather than unmask the murderer, Watson may become his next victim. The game's afoot - but who is the hunter and who will be the prey?

Patrick Mercer is author of the Doctor Watson series, as well as Men of Honour. A military historian by training, he was decorated four times as an infantry officer and then was the defence correspondent for BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.

Enjoyable historical crime.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2013

Verified Purchase

Enjoyable crime fiction, which is written with a fondness and knowledge of original Conan Doyle stories. Plot cleverly brings in Disraeli and the Earl of Cardigan and there is nice portrait of the Charge of the Light Brigade at the beginning of story. The author brings Dr Watson's military background to the fore - and Watson has his own sidekick in the form of the rough diamond Bowler, a former soldier. Holmes fans may find some of the language too colourful and I would have liked the villain of piece to be fleshed out more but can recommend and will take a look at other books in series.

detailed and accurate and held a good story line with characters he brought to life

Somewhat dissapointed his previous war books were first class, detailed and accurate and held a good story line with characters he brought to life. I thought the Watson books would be in a similar vein but obviously not. Hope Patrick returns to his earlier roots at some stage.

Dr Watson's Bluster

This was another book that I have found long winded. It did not seem to keep pace with the stories of Sherlock Holmes. Would not buy any more books in this series.

Watson goes it alone

Interesting take on Sherlock Holmes with Watson and his sidekick bumbling through with a certain amount of humour and impending disaster. Hope there is another one.

Haven't started this yet, and am really looking forward to reading it on my Kindle. Ideal book for holidays, or just to read anywhere.
