Ghost Holmes is still Holmes
Always a pleasure to read Holmes with a twist ... The Ghost is a good idea and at the same time it still has the elements you expect in a good Holmes story ... Recommend if you just want a fun read ...

An excellent read except for an extended bit on Joe McCarthy, although some might this bit of history with their mystery. Quite enjoyable. Dale476 10
Sherlock Holmes: The Ghost of Baker Street by Val Andrews
Greg Hargreaves is an American screen writer who has moved to London after being blacklisted by Senator Joseph McCarthy. Looking around for a place to stay, he comes across the Hudson House on Baker Street.
To his surprise the rooms are nice and the rent low enough to afford. It is only after moving in that Hargreaves discovers why the rooms came so cheap. The Hudson House, 221B Baker Street is being haunted by its former tenantSherlock Holmes!
Oddly enough, the ghost of Holmes and Greg Hargreaves get along rather well. As Hargreaves is writing up a screen play to present to a producer at the recommendation of Orson Wells, Holmes has advice which improves the final product.
Thus is born Septimus Walton and his sidekick, the Reverend Henry McCombe. Later the Walton character would be changed to a Miss Walton. Both Walton and the Reverend are enthusiastic anglers.
McCarthy has sent an aide to London, a Lionel Craig. Craig winds up murdered and the police suspect someone on a list McCarthy has given Craig must be guilty of the crime. The List includes Greg Hargreaves, Orson Wells, Wayne Johnson, Miss Winifred Shultz, and Miss Peppy Clovis. All have varying degrees of secrets in their lives they might not want revealed.
Interesting take on a Sherlock Holmes story! But our hero was not deador maybe he is!
