Summary: Not the Holmes I Know
Comment: This book is very good, if you don't like the original Sherlock Holmes. It is well written and very interesting, but it couldn't be further away from the original character. Some of my biggest pet peeves include: the dates are all wrong (this book takes place in 1882 after Holmes and Watson have known each other for years?), Watson now has an injured back instead of leg/shoulder, Holmes was tortured as a child and falls in love with some Irish widow. It's just weird, and is not faithful to the original. If you like Conan Doyle's stories, steer clear. If you don't know much about Holmes, go read something else. If you don't like Holmes and want an interesting book, then this one is for you.

Summary: Sherlock Holmes and the Ghost of The Flying Dutchman
Comment: Luke Steven Fullenkamp is a masterful storyteller!
The second book of a three book trilogy, it surpassed my expectations (again). His first, Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Three Dragons, was an excellent book and for a first time author, I thought he would have a tough time topping it, but The Flying Dutchman does just that.
The authors uncanny writing style puts the reader inside the book with such attention to detail that you feel as though you are right along side Holmes and Watson through every step of this mystery thriller! This book is a very enjoyable read. Not only does it provide an excellent storyline, but lets the reader see the side of Holmes not normally depicted in other novels.
The author, L S Fullenkamp, seems to have written the book in the classic sense with a slightly different vision of Holmes which is what writing is all about!
Adventure abounds in each and every chapter and if you find mystery, drama, and romance to your liking, then you will certaintly enjoy the book. Fullenkamp has managed to combine all three very effectively to provide readers with a fantastic book.
The first, and second books by the author suggest to me that L S Fullenkamp is a very talented writer and we can expect even more from his upcoming third book!
