Sherlock Holmes and The Roswell Incident
Five years after Jenny Winston vanishes the night of the infamous Roswell UFO crash, Holmes and Watson must solve the mystery of the young woman’s disappearance. Immediately they find themselves in a web of Cold War intrigue, stolen secrets, double agents, and double crosses all connected to the mystery of Roswell. Was the crash a weather balloon, as the Air Force insists? Was it a top-secret experiment? Or was it an alien space ship as one witness reported? Until Holmes and Watson learn the truth, no one may be trusted. Joining forces with feisty Agent Piper Sands, Holmes and Watson must stay one step ahead of The Caretaker, a formidable Soviet assassin who also wants to know the truth behind the Roswell incident. Flying along at supersonic speed, Sherlock Holmes and the Roswell Incident builds to a dizzying conclusion at two of the worlds’ most famous landmarks.

This is a cold-war oriented novel, throwing in as many tropes as possible, with abundant name-dropping here & there.
It merely has characters named as Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Mycroft Holmes, without a shred of their canonical traits.
Rest of the shenanigans also lack either authenticity or flourish.
It’s devoid of charm, wit, humour as well.
NOT RECOMMENDED.

My thanks go out to Steve and Timi at MX Books for my copy of this book
Roswell, New Mexico is a town and area shrouded in mystery. Debris discovered on a ranch were reported in the Sacramento Bee as the remains of a “flying disc.” This was based on reports from Roswell Army Air Field.
Depending on whom you believe, this proved mistaken identity or was proven false, the debris from a “weather balloon.” Pictures appeared in the papers confirming the weather balloon angle, although some claimed this was only a cover-up.
In this book, a young woman named Jenny Winston went missing that fateful day. Holmes and Watson are trying to solve her disappearance. They find themselves swept up in the beginnings of the Cold War. The more misinformation or total lies told, the many times Holmes and Watson are attacked, and government interference, the more Holmes is determined to succeed.
The battle culminates at the Eiffel Tower, in a standoff comparable to Reichenbach Falls.
To be honest, I didn’t really like this one. It is more a case of trying to prove cover-up than a Holmes mystery. It is not all that bad, but as a story, you could totally cut Holmes and Watson out and the story would still stand.
I’ll be generous and give the story two stars. I wish authors did not add Holmes to stories as a means to selling the story. That is only my personal opinion.
Quoth the Raven…
