Holmes and Watson End Peace
1915. Sherlock Holmes to Watson: 'Stand with me here upon the terrace for it may be the last quiet talk that we shall ever have'. 1929. A small hospital somewhere in Dorset. An ante-room off a dimly lit corridor. It is night and there is not even the smallest amount of light penetrating the room. In the room itself a dim light enables us to see a figure in a bed. The pipes, tubes and all the trappings we associate with keeping someone alive have been removed. The man, for it is a man, lies prone and still. Still, but not silent. 1929 The last quiet talk.

About the author
David Ruffle
27 books285 followersDavid Ruffle was born in Northamptonshire in the UK at an early age in 1956,yes..a long time ago. The school years passed by in a blur, or was he the blur ? He managed to extricate himself from the education system at 15 years of age and embarked on the adventure of life.
Eventually, said adventure took him to Dorset and the beautiful town of Lyme Regis in July of 2004.He felt immediately at home here and surprised himself by starting to write...first, poetry and later ghost stories. All the time he felt that Lyme Regis would be a perfect place for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson to have an adventure, any kind of adventure ! And so...Sherlock Holmes and the Lyme Regis Horror was born. The story continues.
David is now with the MX publishing team and further titles have appeared; Sherlock Holmes and The Lyme Regis Legacy, Tales From The Stranger's Room (as contributor and editor),and Holmes and Watson: End Peace. A children's illustrated book, Sherlock Holmes and the Missing Snowman (with illustrations by Rikey Austin, another Lyme Regis resident and hugely talented to boot)saw the light of day in November 2012. Two weeks later the third and final part of the Sherlock Holmes/Lyme Regis trilogy appeared: Sherlock Holmes and the Lyme Regis Trials. Also in the offing is an outing to Scarborough for Holmes and Watson, a proposed tale of thievery, murder and cricket!(A collaboration).Meanwhile, he is still to be found in Lyme Regis, working away and drinking the odd cider, diet permitting. The Abyss: A Journey With Jack The Ripper is set to be published in December 2013.
On a whim he decided to try his hand at comedy resulting in A Twist of Lyme and Another Twist of Lyme. These were published in 2014 along with the final book in the trilogy, A Further Twist of Lyme. New for 2015 will be, Holmes and Watson: An American Adventure. 2016 will see the publication of Holmes and Watson: An Evening in Baker Street followed by The Gondolier and the Russian Countess, a Holmes and Watson adventure set in 1902 Venice. And with any luck, Sherlock Holmes and the Scarborough Affair should surface by the end of the year!

In this book we meet our favorite characters once again, but this time instead of the setting being around the fireplace is 221B Baker Street, it is in a quite nursing home in the year 1929. Here we find Watson "still, but not silent," lying on what will soon become his death bed. His health has deteriorated and we now find a frail old man where there used to be such life and vigor. But there we also find Sherlock Holmes sitting by his bedside to keep him company and reminisce about all that they had achieved together in life.
Just the premise of this book made me a bit melancholy, these two are probably my favorite, most beloved, literary characters so it made me sad to think of them at the end of their lives. But we all know that everyone must die, even Holmes and Watson aren't immune from death. In a way this book gives a sense of closure that wasn't present in the last Sherlock Holmes story by Doyle. Here we get to say good-bye and be with Watson right up until the end. It is like saying good-bye to a friend, and I very much like the fact that David Ruffle, the author, allowed us to be there at the end. I laughed a little when David Ruffle apologized at the end for doing that but I don't think he needs to apologize for anything! The book was wonderful, and beautifully written and definitely has nothing to apologize for.
One of the unique things about the book is that it is all, 100%, dialogue. There is no description or other factors at play, just the words of two friends talking for the last time. I have never read a book like this and I very much enjoyed it. Having just the dialogue made it more personal, intimate in a way, which I think made this book better. It contained only the essential piece. You can picture them talking and made you feel like you were there, sitting in the corner, eaves-dropping on this final conversation.
What we get from the conversation is Holmes and Watson reminiscing about old cases. Here you learn the details about things that were exaggerated and a look into the Giant Rat of Sumatra, which also was a mystery to the readers of the Arthur Conan Doyle stories. We also learn more about all our favorite characters: Mycroft, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, and Mary. The stories they tell each other are very honest and they seem to let loose all these things that have been building up over the course of their lives. I also thought it was cute that even in their old age you find Watson and Holmes making little jabs at each other like they always did in their younger years.
I don't want to give anything away because I think this is a book all Sherlock Holmes fans should read, but you get to see more of the younger lives of Watson and Holmes. Here at the end of their days we get the stories of when they were little, and what they most regret. From both Watson and Holmes we get a shocking confession that could change how you see these characters. After these confessions I loved the response that the other gave. They truly are the best of friends. While some didn't like these confessions, feeling they were a bit too far-fetched, they wouldn't really be shocking confessions if after hearing them you thought, "Yeah guess I should have seen that one coming." I think they added another side to Holmes and Watson that we hadn't been privy to up until that point and it helped strengthen the already un-breakable bond between the two.
Overall I give this book 5/5 stars. It is original without breaking from the original feel of the characters. David Ruffle did an amazing job of showing these two characters that I have come to love so much. I definitely will be reading more of his books. Like I said before if you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes I would highly recommend this book to you, you will not be sorry you read it. Great job David, I look forward to reading more of your works in the future!! :)

Well, this, quite mesmerising, book was like nothing I have read before. The setting is a small hospital 'somewhere in Dorset' and in a room is a man attached to all the paraphernalia (pipes, tubes etc) that tell you straight from the off this man is nearing his end.
This man is Doctor John Watson and beside him is his old friend Sherlock Holmes. They talk of their history, past cases and characters and death draws closer.
What makes this book special, for me at least, is that the whole thing is just conversation between H and W, the reader looking on as two old, old friends wait for the end.
And the end comes and I was so wrapped up in this I felt a loss as of losing a friend myself
Highly recommended

I don't read Sherlock Holmes pastiches – I write them, and I avoid reading pastiches on the whole, for fear I will inadvertently copy someone else's ideas. But having read about End Peace, I thought I could risk this work.
It's a fascinating concept in the technical sense - a book that is all dialogue with no description at all. To describe it as a "novel" is perhaps a mistake. It's a work of Holmesian scholarship, examining the details of one of the most famous fictional relationships in English literature. Both Holmes and Watson talk freely about their experiences, their relationship, and their lives before they met each other. Each reveals secrets which he has kept hidden from the other, and which help to explain the seeming contradictions in Watson's work (Ruffle plays The Game wonderfully - even leading Holmes and Watson to ask if in the future they might possibly be regarded as fictional characters).
The interchange is set in a delicate and moving framework which contains a mystery in itself. Indeed, the setting is so moving that I was almost in tears at the end of the book. For anyone who has read the canon, and wishes to know more about the characters, this is a good starting point. Maybe none of Ruffle's ideas is stunningly original (a point he admits in his introduction), but each is beautifully introduced, explained and presented.
A slight complaint - I thought that the typesetting could have used the indented paragraph style rather than the block style, and there was a silly typo on the back cover.

Dull and boring. Nothing at all like the real deal.

Holmes And Watson End Peace by David Ruffle is a short but very moving and evocative story which details a conversation between Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. It takes place in a nursing home in 1929 where Dr Watson is being cared for. The cover for the book is superbly simple, a deerstalker and medical bag. For any reader of Sherlock Holmes the symbolism is obvious and it does set the tone for the book. This is a story about Holmes and Watson. No one else is involved.
Holmes and Watson End Peace does take the reader on a journey, firstly a fond reminiscent of old cases Holmes and Watson were involved in and then the conversation takes on a darker turn as the final secrets carried by both Holmes and Watson are gradually revealed and is somewhat shocking in content. But the secrets are handled sensitively by David Ruffle who also seeks to explain the reasons behind them. There is also a clever subplot that adds great pathos to the story and as the reader gradually realises what is going on one does feel that they want to hug Dr Watson even more! The seriousness of the story is nicely offset by breaks in the conversation as we are drawn to the lives of the nurses caring for Dr Watson. There is humour and a sense of life carrying on as normal outside the room of Dr Watson. However even the nurses begin to realise that all is not normal within the walls of Dr Watson’s room as they fret over a chair not being where it should be.
Throughout the story you very much sense the long standing friendship between the two men which transcends everything else. Theirs is a strong bond that can never be broken by anything. Even in spirit the bonds of friendship remain as strong as ever. It is a theme that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used very effectively throughout the canon, particularly in The Empty House and The Three Garridebs. If you want to read a Sherlock Holmes story that is set at the end of the many adventures Holmes and Watson had together, with an added and most unexpected twist then Holmes and Watson End Peace is for you. A fixed point in a changing age for your Sherlockian/Holmesian bookcase!

Love the dialogue-only form! It makes for a very different, very intimate read, which is perfect for this kind of story.
I'm not entirely sure if I can really agree with everything David Ruffle created for their past, but in the overall picture it works.
In the end, End Peace is a wonderful and very poignant read, the kind of story that will break your heart and one of the pastiches, which are definitely worth reading!

A very good book from an author I will now look out for (I see he has many SH titles listed on this site) and I must say that this book deserves six stars if it were available. I think this is a book all Sherlock Holmes fans should read, it's sad but uplifting at the same time. It will make you smile, it will make you tearful but it's a damn good read - and just a wee bit spooky.
The whole book is the dialogue between Holmes and Watson as they reminisce over the good old days that they spent together at 221B Baker Street - warts and all ! I am loathe to give anything away as it might spoil the whole premise of the book. It's not only looking back but also a look at how they became the men that they are at that moment in time, 1915 to be exact. Regrets from their pasts (some fanciful but they fit the characters well) and their fears for the future of politics leading to future conflicts.

I'm sorry, but, to me, this was plain boring. All dialogue, long diatribes that might be interesting for the author, but not for the reader, and although it's obvious that the author knows well the canon, the only use he does of it is... showing it.
It failed to engage me.

A story with a difference, very interesting adaptation of the final stage of the lives of Sherlock and Watson.
I really enjoyed this story, well written and makes you smile and sad too.
I base this review on the audiobook which i received to free and wanted to give an honest opinion.

A sad little short story.

I've recently finished “Holmes And Watson: End Peace” by David Ruffle. I couldn't wait to share my thoughts on this very innovatively written little masterpiece. So here goes…
End Peace is filled with nothing but my favorite part of any Sherlock Holmes pastiche, dialogue. This fascinating book is literally 100% dialogue, it reads like an actual transcript of one long conversation and is completely delightful to digest.
The book takes place at the very end of Holmes and Watson’s years together. What we have here is a retrospective look at their career and adventures together from the vantage point of a “final’ conversation between our two beloved characters. However while that premise may seem pretty straightforward, Ruffle manages to throw in some VERY original and captivating twists and turns that keep you absolutely rapt. I do not exaggerate in the least when I say this.
Aside from the oh so curious way in which this conversation takes place and the mystery that encapsulates it, we have even more to be excited about. Answers to many questions and light shed on many stories from the canon! Who doesn’t love that idea?
During this retrospective conversation the duo go about discussing the fate of many characters from the original Conan Doyle stories as well as some of those cases that Watson often mentioned yet never chronicled. For example we learn what became of Detective Inspector Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, Mary Morstan and many more characters that impacted the lives of Holmes and Watson. Call it literary closure if you will and masterfully done if I may say so myself.
Holmes and Watson also take the time to finally say things to each other they’ve always wanted and/or needed to, yet never have due to pride, respect or perhaps both. They are very candid with each other and “let some things out” that have been building up all these years. They also finally express some sentiments that will leave any Sherlockian/Holmesian, touched. Don’t worry, David does this perfectly and their “honest moments” are done with elegance and tact. You’ll have to read for yourself to see exactly what I mean.
David Ruffle is no stranger to writing brilliant books and this one follows suit. Given the majority of the subject matter in this book there is not much else I can say about the content without the risk of spoiling it for those of you who have yet to read it. On that note I will leave you with this:
If you love Sherlock Holmes, buy this today. If you love good books, buy this today. If you ever wondered what happened to any of your favorite characters, buy this today. If you would be interested in listening in on a “final” retrospective conversation between Holmes and Watson, then seriously, buy this today.
This book is well worth its weight in gold. It is fun, mysterious, emotionally captivating, full of twists and did I mention it’s 100% dialogue! No filler, no fluff, just the words of our beloved Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Well done Mr. Ruffle, well done…

A short (about 114 pages) novel (all conversation, no action) relating the death of Sherlock Holmes' friend and chronicler Dr. John H. Watson in a nursing home in 1929. [WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD] All of the talking (except that of the nurses) is between Watson and Holmes reminiscing about their lives and the adventures they shared. The author is well-up on his Canonical knowledge but goes way too far afield when our heroes each reveal they committed a murder in their younger days (obviously apocryphal), not to mention an unnecessary several page anti-religious rant, against the veracity of the Old Testament of the Bible in particular. [Again, authors, if you wish to publish a diatribe, at least have the courage NOT to hide it within the pages of a fictional work.] The strictly Sherlockian content of this book is quite good however and, even though it appears the good doctor is hallucinating, I can see just this sort of dialogue going on between the two friends as they meet one final time.

I am such a sucker for post retirement Holmes and Watson stories. That being said, this is really well written. The story is entirely dialog, but the words flow with the same formal Victorian grace that the originals were written with. It is a quick read, coming in at 118 pages including the afterward, but filled with content.
It IS definitely geared toward the obsessive fan, with many unexplained references; easily understood by a devotee but probably incomprehensible to a casual fan. Lets be honest though, who is reading a book like this? It's not the casual fan.
All in all, I loved it.

Read this one after having read this author's "An Evening in Baker Street". Both are exclusively dialogue. Both are pretty light weight. I probably will not read another of Ruffle's Sherlock stories.
This one has Watson on his death bed, and Holmes there in Watson's imagination -- or maybe not. This could have been an interesting thread -- but it leads nowhere. Revelations at the end of secrets in both men's lives were intended to be plot highlights.

The Holmes and Watson in this book really didn't feel like themselves at all. I'm surprised at all the positive comments for this since, to me, it felt much weaker than many fanfics I've read.
It wasn't awful, but it didn't at all feel like the characters we've come to know and love through ACD, films, TV or any of the myriad options out there that have explored this relationship.

I really enjoyed the conversation between Holmes and Watson. Nicely done, David. You did a great job of turning the entire book into all conversation and playing out how it would all end. I was quite pleased. So glad I was able to get the book.

An interesting exercise, but it didn't really grab me. I'm a complete sucker for anything with Holmes or Watson in their old age, but this one lacked something.
