The Case of the American Twins
The Case of the American Twins: Adapted from characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle | Chelsea Quinn Yarbro

The American Twins is a classic adventure featuring the great detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend, Dr. John Watson
Among the many references made to cases that Watson did not chronicle, those of Sherlock Holmes' early career are the most intriguing. Within the canon, there is an oblique reference to one case concerning an American client, but nothing more is revealed by Watson. At last, here is that case.

The only mystery is who wrote this. Yarbro writes elegant, descriptive prose of memorable and multifaceted characters. This is none of those. It says “based on the stage play of the same name by Chelsea Quinn Yabro,“ so I can only assume some hack transcribed the stage directions into novel form. It wasn't even proofread.

The mystery is given away before the 50% mark, and the ending is deeply unsatisfying. This is the dullest-edged Holmes of all.
