This was an excellent Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel, with an authentic Conan Doyle. An aristocrat loved by the local people for his generosity to the poor is murdered. While the murder is initially blamed on local poachers, Holmes quickly deduces otherwise. The murder has its origin in events 40 years before in the horrors and oppression of Van Diemen's land (now Tasmania) to which convicts were transported, often for quite minor offences brought about by poverty-stricken and desperate lives. Flashbacks form around a quarter of the narrative as the reasons behind the events in the 1880s are coloured in, and the villain behind a series of murders exposed. Very good and quick read.

In 1886, wealthy philathropist Lord Backwater is found beaten to death on the grounds of his estate. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must unravel the mystery by pitting their wits against a ruthless new enemy, taking them across the globe in search of the killer. By turns both thrilling and daring, The Man From Hell braves dark new territories in the Holmes mythology and is an invaluable addition to the library of any Holmes fan. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless creation returns in a new series of handsomely designed detective stories. From the earliest days of Holmes' career to his astonishing encounters with Martian invaders, the Further Adventures series encapsulates the most varied and thrilling cases of the worlds' greatest detective.
