ABOUT THIS BOOK Now retired from detective work, Sherlock Holmes is called on once again to do battle with occult forces. Unrest in Europe is threatening to turn into all-out war, and there are certain parties who would seek to gain from the mass slaughter. When his brother, Mycroft, is found dead on a lonely stretch of beach in Sussex, the body covered in slime and hideously mutilated, Holmes unearths a plot against members of the Diogenes Club that has far-reaching, apocalyptic consequences. With trusty Watson once more at his side, Holmes sallies forth one last time to defy the nameless, unspeakable entities from beyond who would wish to conquer the earth and make every human their slave. MY REVIEW The final instalment in The Cthulhu Casebooks series, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SUSSEX SEA-DEVILS by James Lovegrove is compelling, addictive, and everything you want from the sophisticated and exceptional Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes has retired from London and living a more relaxed life in Sussex or so it would appear. But it isn't long before Holmes and Watson are back to their usual tricks trying to solve riddles that would bemuse and exasperate everybody else. When Holmes receives a strange phone call from his older brother it launches him back to London but tragedy has already struck and Holmes demands justice which he is determined to dole out himself. For their old enemy has resurfaced and is determined to drag our world into darkness and despair while old magic will rise up and destroy life as we know it for everyone. Can Holmes and Watson put an end to this evil for good? Dangerous, exciting, clever and engaging, I thoroughly enjoyed this story which is gripping from beginning to end. With the loss that Holmes experiences we get to see glimpses of a more human and emotional Holmes as he seeks to destroy the evil that is running rampant in our world. Watson and Holmes together are their usual cavalier and witty selves and there is never a dull moment among these pages. SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SUSSEX SEA-DEVILS by James Lovegrove is a must-read for Holmes fans, as is the entire series, and they are some of the best historical mysteries that I have had the pleasure to read. AUTHOR BIO James Lovegrove is the author of several acclaimed novels and books for children. Currently James resides in Eastbourne on the Sussex Coast, having moved there in August 2007 with his wife Lou, sons Monty and Theo, and cat Ozzy. He has a terrific view of the sea from his study window, which he doesn’t sit staring out at all day when he should be working. Honest.
