The Case of Exploding Speakeasy. by David Fessenden
Watson son Thomas was a reporter, with Holmes, saying they were nothing but a rag paper, never getting anything right, Thomas walking back to his flat, smoke from an explosion of the speakeasy with showers of money in the air. In his flat was Mycroft, Sherlock’s brother.,informing Thomas that he was to look after his well being now, that Sherlock was gone. The success of the article, with few to celebrate. An enjoyable read with the son . All three stories are good and their other books are also.

Mixed bag
The Lazarus story was a thriller where the good guy survives. Hummingbird is a thriller where the good girl survives several murder attempts. The Case is a thriller where the good guy survives. The case was so like a traditional Sherlock Holmes book it was a pleasure to read.
