The Adventure Of The Found Note

"An absolute belter of a Sherlock mystery! Packed with suspense, international intrigue, secret societies, dead ends, rugged islands in the North Sea, masterful deceptions, the cosy fireside at Baker Street, connoisseur tobaccos, and nail-biting shoot-outs. Through it, we are in the more than capable hands of the warm, faithful, resolute Watson. And above it all towers Holmes: ascetic, impetuous, unmanageable, indomitable. THE ADVENTURE OF THE FOUND NOTE confirms Matthew Simmonds as a magnificent observer and recreator of Holmes, whose unique Victorian world of contrasts and baffling mysteries is woven into every page. I have been looking forward to this book for a long time, and the wait was more than worth it! If you like Sherlock, brain-cudgelling puzzles, and edge-of-the-seat adventures, you'll love this!"

Dominic Selwood - Historian, barrister, and author of the best-selling thriller 'The Sword of Moses'.

The Adventure of the Pigtail Twist

“In Matthew Simmonds’ first novel, “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Pigtail Twist”, Our Heroes are summoned to the murder of a wealthy man, found in a room of his home, and killed in a way that puzzles Sherlock Holmes right to the end of the book.

But before that, the book has a quite extensive prologue of sorts, in which Holmes agrees to solve a series of cases, one every day, for Scotland Yard. These are essentially short stories, built into the fabric of the larger narrative. (Additionally, there is a similar short story nearer the end of the book, told by Holmes to Watson while passing the time, about one of his earlier cases.) These aren’t intended to be filler in any way. Rather, they make for a more rounded and enjoyable book, illustrating that Holmes and Watson’s adventures weren’t simply stand-alone segments that were quite isolated and defined from other events going on at the same time.

The main investigation, however, is the meat of the book, and Holmes’s solution was quite satisfactory. I particularly enjoyed how he outplayed the criminal during a pursuit to the Continent.

Mr. Simmonds has other works in progress, and I for one will be looking forward to his next efforts. He has successfully found a way to retrieve the types of stories from Watson’s Tin Dispatch Box that I want to read and will support, and I encourage him to keep doing it for a long time!”
