The Lost Casebooks of Sherlock Holmes Three Volumes… by Donal Thomas
The first part of this book, The Secret Cases, should have remained secret, wIth Holmes smug, haughty and impotent, unable to influence anything worthwhile. I kept reading, but every story had the same Holmes where we're lucky to get no more than one useless input each. Needless to say, I did not finish this book.

The Victorian Underworld by Donald Thomas
So-so collection of material on crime in Victorian-era England. The chapters on prostitution and pornography aren't terribly interesting, and while the chapters on burglary and murder are rather more interesting, it's pretty much a rehash of what you can find in other books. All right, but nothing particularly spectacular.

Cochrane: Britannia's Sea Wolf: The Story of… by Donald Thomas
Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, 1775-1860, was a legend in his lifetime and this brilliant biography makes clear that he achieved enough to fill several lifetimes, firstly as a audacious and brilliant naval tactician, in the final years of the struggle against Napoleon, but also as a politician, reformer and inventor. He also found time to act as a mercenary Admiral, playing a vital role in the independence struggles of Peru, Chile, Brazil and also, latterly, Greece. There are darker aspects to Cochrane's story, who was involved in a murky stock Exchange scandal and was an unabashed admirer of Napoleon but, all in all, a very remarkable individual indeed.… (more)
