      A follow-on to the Seven Percent Solution, the West End Horror isn't quite up to the standard, as sequels often aren't. It's still a good Holmes/Watson adventure, and amusing for the historical cameos, but somehow the horror isn't quite as horrifying as one thought. It is amusing to read the author's depictions of George Bernard Shaw (was he REALLY like that?), Bram Stoker, Sir Arthur Sullivan, and other genuine historical figures.
    • 2/5
      Another Sherlock Holmes mystery, in the style of Conan Doyle. (Meyer also wrote The Seven-Percent Solution.) The London theatrical background includes appearances by George Bernard Shaw, Gilbert and Sullivan, Bram Stoker, Henry Irving, and Oscar Wilde. Silly, fun, but not as good as I thought it might be. I prefer the original Conan Doyle stories to any of the pastiche-writers.
    • 3/5
      A pastiche filling in one of the cases hitherto unnoticed by the Great Detective's biographer. Entertaining as fanfiction
    • 2/5
      I love Sherlock Holmes as a character and have enjoyed many of Doyle's writings about the character as well as some other authors writing the character and of course I loved the movies.By reading the title to this I had hoped Mr. Meyers had combined Sherlock with a plot more filled with horror elements. Unfortunately he didn't. The writing was enjoyable, the plot was intricate and I don't think anyone reading it could figure it out before hand (which is probably a negative for some mystery readers). What really turned me off was the long exposition at the end explaining the plot in detail. It almost seemed like he could have sent it in as the summary for his book. It seemed like way too much "telling" instead of "showing" which is like creative writing 101.
