A Review: Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Peculiar Provenance

Welcome Adventurers. Today I bring you a review of Derrick Belanger's Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Peculiar Provenance. This one hundred sixteen page novella opens with a forward claiming it was based on found letters between Dr. John Watson and his nephew. When young artist turned art thief is killed with a letter from Sherlock's brother Mycroft in his possession excusing any crime he commits as service to the crown. It's up to Sherlock and Watson to discover whether the letter threatening execution to any who interfere with the dead thief is indeed genuine. To add to the mystery, the wealthy art dealer who's painting was destroyed in the burglary has also hired Sherlock to investigate and this promises to be a classic Sherlock Adventure with all the high stakes and turns. On the whole I found the story enjoyable and would readily recommend this to any Sherlock fan. Until next time Adventurers Happy reading.
