The Private Diaries of Dr. Watson Magda Jozsa

This the second edition of The Private Diaries of Dr. Watson fourteen new cases that Watson considered either too personal to Holmes or himself or to risque. We see an unexpected of Sherlock and his brother Mycroft in The Illegitimate Daughter when they revisit the Holmes ancestral home and meet the elusive unpleasant third brother. Holmes is at his professional best when hunting for a violent axe murderer in The Seaside horror, or solving the murder of a gardener at his Aunt's private girl's school in Death Amidst the Orchids. He shows of his quirky humour and brilliance in new added story, The Dentist, and is almost stumped when tackling a serial killer in The Full Moon Killer. He proves to be Watson's staunchest ally when Watson is arrested for murder in The Trial of Dr. Watson. That old favourite, Colonel Warbuton's Madness is finally mentioned in detail, and in the remaining cases we gain greater insight into both Holmes and Watson's characters, their strengths, their foibles, their loyalties, and their attitudes to fortune and the unfortunate. A must read for all lovers of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
