FINALLY!! Book of the Week Review for Wednesday June1st 2011!! The Italian Secretary by Caleb Carr

The Italian Secretary: A Further Adventure of Sherlock Holmes
It was a little bit longer to read than I thought with all this school reading, but I did it guys.
I love Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Let me start there. They are waht got me into reading in the first place. If you have a child that does not like reading, hand them a Holmes book. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will forever be the true Sherlock but Caleb Carr is a great predecessor.
It did not feel like a forced attempt to write like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His writing fit perfectly and the story of the Italian Secretary was a very exciting adventure. I am glad I picked it up and I am even more excited that he is going to hopefully come out with more stories.
Caleb Carr is also the author of his own detective mysteries and they are The Alienist and The Angel of Darkness. Please check him out and if you have any questions like always hit me up on my comment box below.
