House Of Silk
THE GAMES AFOOT.. .It is November 1890 and London is gripped by a merciless winter. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by the fire when an agitated gentleman arrives unannounced at 221b Baker Street. He begs Holmes for help telling the unnerving story of a scar-faced man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in recent weeks. Intrigued Holmes and Watson find themselves swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to the teeming criminal underworld of Boston and the mysterious House of Silk.. . See Judys Review See Richards Review Download A Sample Chapter Of The House of Silk Read about the Author Exclusive Bonus Content Write a Review for The House of Silk Judys Review Ive never read a Sherlock Holmes story. To be
honest they didnt hold any particular appeal for me. Obviously Ive seen the various films and TV versions and mostly enjoyed them but the books themselves? No thanks. Anthony Horowitz has changed all that. I cant wait to get stuck in to the originals - if theyre as good as The House of Silk Ive got a massive treat coming. This book evokes a powerful sense of late-Victorian London. It is winter 1890; handsome cabs clatter along the frosty cobbled streets gas lamps flare in the gloom and telegram boys run to and fro with urgent messages. At 221b Baker Street Holmes and Watson are taking tea by a roaring fire when Mrs Hudson the faithful housekeeper shows a clearly agitated gentleman in. He has a story to tell. He is being stalked by a menacing scar-faced man who stares malevolently at him.
It has been going on for weeks and their visitor is at the end of his tether. He begs Holmes for help. The games afoot Watson! And indeed it is. Horowitz spins an ever-more dramatic and dangerous story. What begins as a puzzle swiftly becomes a mystery with deeply sinister overtones. As Holmes and Watson become immersed in their investigations they begin to hear the whispered words the House of Silk... what does the phrase mean? What links Londons foggy streets with the violent underworld that seethes in the American city of Boston? This is quite simply one of the best detective mysteries I have read for a long time. Congratulations Mr Horowitz. Can we have another one please? Richards Review "
