Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine 4 ReviewIt is really too bad that the Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine is inconsistent not merely regarding the periodicity, but also (and far more importantly) regarding the quality of works getting published there. This particular issue has the following: -
1) From Watson's Scrapbook, by "John H. Watson", accompanied by a piece from Marvin Kaye: the novelty is wearing thin, and is not enjoyable either.
2) Sherlock on Screen, Again: A Review of the New Sherlock Holmes [DVD], by Bruce Kilstein: a candid review that may rankle with the opinions of many a Sherlockian, but readable, nevertheless.
3) A Woman of Her Time: an interview with New York City's Chief Toxicologist, by Carole Bugge: a refreshing read.
4) Screen of the Crime: Man of Thought, Man of Action, by Lenny Picker: another look at a forgotten classic A Study In Terror [1965] [DVD].
5) Ask Mrs. hudson: a forgettable feature that should be taken off by the editor.
6) The Bitter Half, by Stan Trybulski: a hard-bolied story which is undoubtedly good, but would have fit some other magazine better.
7) A Short, Sharp Shock, by Melville S. Brown: a good & short story, but nothing great here!
8) The Man in the Overcoat, by marc Bilgrey: the author should stick to his cartoons.
9) Glass Eye, by Hal Charles: a good story from the detective father-daughter duo, where the crime is invariably solved by the amateur daughter.
10) Another Night To Remember, by William E. Chambers: another hard-boiled story which would have shone in any other magazine, but here....
11) The Perfect (Part-Time) Foil, by Jean Paiva: the first readable piece by this author that I have read, a fantasy!
12) Miss Podsnap's Pearls, by Roberta Rogow: a very-very weak story, that filled in the slot usually occupied by Jean Paiva, by being the worst piece in the volume.
13) The Adventure of the Elusive Emaralds, by Carla Coupe: an intelligent pastiche loosely based on the lamented radio series produced by Anthony Boucher.
14) Classic Reprint: The Adventure of The Resident Patient, by Arthur Conan Doyle: this piece needs no descriptive words, and stand taller than the rest.
15) You Are My Sherlock, by Len Moffett: an inferior poem which could have been (and should have been) avoided.
Overall, definitely a decline after the superb volume 3, but let's hope for a better one in the next issue.Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine 4 OverviewThe fourth issue of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine features Carla Coupe's new Holmes story, "The Adventure of the Elusive Emeralds,' plus tales by Stan Trybulski, Melville S. Brown, Marc Bilgrey, Hal Charles, William E. Chambers, Jean Paiva, and Roberta Rogow. This issue's classic reprint is "The Adventure of the Resident Patient," by Arthur Conan Doyle.
