Interesting story. Great if you like history and conspiracy theories of sorts. This one involves a murder mystery and apossible link to Sherlock Holmes. Characters deate whether or not Holmes actually existed or was just a fictional character.

One of Lescroart's first novels (written 1986), before he got famous.
Janis K. (Having read many of the Lescroart's novels, I was intrigued to find this novel. Set in World War I France, "Son of Holmes" revolves around a murder and wartime espionage. The case is investigated by the reputed son of Sherlock Holmes. The ending is classic English-style, "let's go in a room and reveal the killer." An enjoyable read.
Sharron A. (This book is interestingly different from the author's better-known Dismas Hardy mystery series. Set in the early days of WWI in France, the characters are largely foreign (not-French) and each has his own angle on the impending war. Spies? Double-agents? Or just a group of guys who like to taste home-brewed beer every Wednesday night? This is a classic tale in the style of Sherlock Holmes.
