title: The Case of the Scottish Tragedy: Sounds Like Murder, Vol. I
author:  Otto Penzler 
description: It's been quite some time since we visited our good friends Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson. But in <i>The Case of the Scottish Mystery</i>, veteran crime writer June Thomson takes us back to 221 Baker Street for an exciting test of observation and deduction. In the classic style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomson has pitted Sherlock against a ruthless adversary: a murderous gang of revolutionaries bent on revenge. Simon Jones (<i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0767802578/${0}">The Devil's Own</a></i>, <i>Murder She Wrote</i>) uses his impressive vocal talents to deliver a first-rate narration, offering rich interpretations of the famous heroes and the interesting supporting characters Thomson has created.
