It's hard to know whether potential readers find such reviews useful - or find them at all - but I like to think so. I don't generally go into the kind of perceptive detail more discriminating reviewers do (check out Leah Guinn's The Well-Read Sherlockian for extraordinary book reviews), but I give a general description and evaluation of each book. I've been doing it for several years now, and there are sixty-some reviews available on my website, Sherlockian.Net. In general I try to review every Sherlockian book I read. This afternoon my e-mail includes a friendly note from the author of a volume just published by MX, the British-based Sherlockian specialists: "I hope you will be able to review my book soon." I've just finished reading a pre-publication copy of a pastiche from a major publisher. A fourth, Elinor Gray's eagerly-awaited Compound a Felony, popped up in my Kindle last night. Three new Sherlockian books arrived in the mail last week.
