Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Quirk Books is excited to announce the discovery of a never-before-published adventure from the pen of Dr. John Watson, steadfast companion of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. As the tale opens, we discover that Holmes has vanished and Watson has been framed for a grisly murder! Writing from a damp cell in Coldbath Fields penitentiary, the falsely convicted prisoner recounts the events leading to his arrest . . . and provides twelve removable, facsimile clues that point to the true culprit. Among them are:
An article torn from a newspaper in California
A puzzling manuscript ripped into several pieces
A catalog of Victorian medicines and marital aids
Plus a telegram, an arrest report, an empty matchbook, a train schedule, and much more
It's up to you to sift through the clues and solve the thrilling whodunit. When you think you've identified the culprit, slice open the final signature of the book (sealed at the printer) to read the remainder of the story. With beautiful Victorian-style illustrations and first-rate production values, The Crimes of Dr. Watson will appeal to mystery lovers of all ages.

I purchased The Crimes of Dr. Watson: An Interactive Sherlock Holmes Mystery for my husband who absolutely LOVED it. It was unexpected and he has a great time solving the mystery. His only wish was that he book was longer. Otherwise, he was extremely satisfied. True Sherlock Holmes fans will get a kick out of this book. I think it would be a GREAt stocking stuffer.

The production values of the book try to reflect the time of Dr Watson and Holmes, from the slightly yellowed pages to the Victorian endpapers that look like the wallpaper pattern common at the time.
The mini-story contained within, 'The Final Problem', was a treat. The clues held within were reproduced well and felt that you were holding the actual pieces of evidence.
It's a fascinating book to pass the time by and to try to solve the mystery. I'd recommend it.

If you hold off buying this book for a couple of months, the "Dollar" Stores should be flooded with this item.

Something about interactive books always gets me! This book is no exception. The clever narrative writing is complemented with "evidence" collected by "Dr. Watson." Read the book, check out the clues and try to solve the case! If, like me, you're too lazy to apply a little brain power to figure it out, there's a handy solution explanation tucked away in the back. Great read!
