Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell: Extracts from the Diaries of John H. Watson, MD.

"Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell: Extracts from the Diaries of John H. Watson, MD" by Nicholas Meyer is a disappointing novel that sees Holmes and Watson working together during World War I. Watson, who has been treating soldiers, reunites with Holmes, who has been undercover gathering information from a traitor. They are sent to the United States to uncover a plot and become involved in two murders. However, the novel focuses more on Holmes as an action hero rather than the crimes themselves, which may not appeal to fans of Holmes or espionage enthusiasts. [Extracted from the article]
