said of Watson, “I am lost without my Boswell, ” With Boswell as the Boswell how can you go wrong Although Ive never read Boswell on Johnson de la Torre has written with such an authentic voice that it seems it must be his.
Most of the adventures here are based on reallife cases, and the author provides notes at the end of each story giving a quick background and usually a book that tells all about the case or the principal players or bothmuch to my distress, because who has time to read all those! Anyway, a fascinating book.
Good fun “I am lost without my Boswell, ”
Sherlock Holmes
“Here was a real man as versatile and various as any fictitious detective, just and humane, with wideranging interests and flavorful personality a man of undaunted valor, keen intellect, and scientific curiosity.
What a detective he would make! And he came equipped with his Boswell, the only original Boswell, a fascinating character in his own right, with his amatory exploits, his flair for sensation, and
his gift of observation.
