Since he first appeared in the 1887 Beeton’s Christmas
annual A Study in Scarlet, a great deal has been written about
Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary character, the consulting
detective Sherlock Holmes.
Now, for the first time, Raymond G. Farney offers a concise,
case-by-case compendium of these Sherlockian adventures.
In an easy-to-read format, Farney presents a study of each Sherlock Holmes novel and
short story. Each case is broken down in a similar format, covering fast facts on the
publication, the plot, and the outcome of the story itself. The studies include information
such as Characters, Crime, Victim, Crime Scene, Timeline, Evidence & Clues, and, of
course, Holmes’ own Observations & Deductions.
A Study in Sherlock is a comprehensive treasure trove of Holmesian information—and
a must-read for any Holmes aficionado!
RAYMOND G. FARNEY is a retired business owner who designed and built new residential homes at the New Jersey shore and since childhood an avid reader of Sherlock Holmes stories.
Had Jesus really “descended into hell” as the Apostles’ Creed asserts? Was physical death God’s only punishment for first man’s and his wife’s disobedience to Him? What will be the ultimate fate of those who have already died as well as that of all humans still alive? Answers to questions like these begin to take shape at the start of Genesis and fully materialize by the closing of the New Testament, all based on relevant Scriptural verses with detailed studies of the applicable original languages providentially preserved. The thread of the author’s argument, rooted in Genesis 2:17 and 3:4, spans through Matthew 10:28 and 2 Thessalonians 1:9 to Revelation 21:8. The conclusion will have a definite impact on the message of comfort and hope Jesus Christ’s emissaries (Matthew 16:15) seek to spread universally.
Ned Harrison and Kitten Lang are tied together by dreams. Both have seen each other and discover who they both are. They have seen in dreams red floating feathers and flying cardinals, the unhappy dead who have been betrayed, who are pleading for help and justice to be done. All which ties to a murder case. It will take all the skills as a detective and a witch solve the case, but death says, “Danger is at the door.” And Ned Harrison will get the aid of one seen in his dream—the cardinal itself. To fight and outwit the enemy, the little bird will have his say.
Jaxon Bartleight is a police officer with twenty-two years of working on cold-case files. He is a very angry man, struggling with relationships and inner demons. He carried the burden and pain silently, of his fiancée’s murder from many years ago, believing her death was his fault. Her murder, never solved, has left him burdened emotionally. Things changed in his life when a woman named Angela enters unexpectedly. She begins to get involved in his cases, actually helping him and Peter Galbreth, his partner, solve these old cases. Appearing to have information that she shouldn’t be able to have, showing up at the most inopportune/opportune times, and having an emotional effect on everyone she encounters causes Jaxon to be unsure if she is a very good hacker (fraud), a physic, or supernatural. Only time will tell, but it may leave Jaxon questioning his own sanity, desperately wanting an answer to know more.
What started out as a youthful life of innocence in South Central Los Angeles turned into a fight of the fittest, fueled by a life of addictions and wrong decisions. I called all the shots. I was in control of everything. I was the one who caused people to break themselves apart until in the end, I broke apart from the inside out. My second wife and daughters, I always considered my saints; they were the ones who, for years, held me together!
(This is my story. Laugh with a Sinner or Cry with His Saints: Life by the Drop)
A God-send is a blessing bestowed upon a person by our heavenly Father, who knows more about what we need and when we need it than we do. Upon the arrival of this unruly, untrained, and unhealthy specimen of a dog, we were skeptical, to say the least, that he had been sent from heaven. The next thirteen years would prove to be a strong lesson in patience, stamina, and dedication. Scoobie definitely had a story worth sharing!
Hi! My name is Alex Pianola. Since the coronavirus lockdown began, I’ve been stuck at home with ten monsters and my parents. Gradually, I’ve realized that everyone else is in the same situation and we all I have to learn to do everyday things differently. I am eager to go outside, but thanks to the monsters and my friend Lidia, I’ve learned more about the virus and the whole point of the lockdown. We have to be responsible. We have to support our healthcare system, research and science, but we also need to take care of the planet and of each other, because we are all in the same boat.
