My Grave Ritual (#3)
Previous: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles (#2) | Next: The Sign of Nine (#4)
As they blunder towards doom, Warlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson find themselves inconvenienced by a variety of eldritch beings. Christmas brings a goose that doesn’t let being cooked slow it down; they meet an electricity demon, discover why being a redhead is even tricker than one might imagine, and Holmes attempts an Irish accent. And, naturally, Moriarty is hanging around… in some form or other.
Reviews
"Denning blends laughs and chills in his entertaining third warped take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s oeuvre (after 2017’s The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles), in which Sherlock Holmes is a sorcerer and Watson is his more astute companion. Sherlockians will be especially appreciative of some of the jokes that riff on the canon."
“Warlock Holmes has become my go-to for some light and fluffy fun because I know these characters will never let me down when I want a good laugh. I really hope this trend will continue for the next installment and beyond, because I just can’t wait to read more.”
“I am looking forward to seeing where he goes next, since it is very clear that he has a lot of exciting, intelligent plot in store for us, if these first three books have been anything to go by.”
"Riotous from cover to cover, My Grave Ritual takes black fantasy-comedy to new heights (or sundry depths?) and is a "must-read" for connoisseurs of wild fantastic."Midwest Book Review
