Synopsis

Who are the 'men in the garden'? Was Chipping Norton really once the centre of the universe? What part do dodgy knees have to play? Just who are Johnny Norfolk and Johnny Stevens? What is W.A.S.T.E.? What connects the Cotswolds, Venice, East Molesey and Lyme Regis? Why would anyone pay to see 'Ophelia get Your Gun'? And just what is the appropriate response to virtually everything? Some of these questions may be answered...some may not in this comic tale of family life in this, David Ruffle's first foray into contemporary fiction.

Biographie de l'auteur

Some reviews of David Ruffle's previous volumes (including the Lyme Regis trilogy of Sherlock Holmes books): This new take on a traditional property combines two old favourites from Victorian literature - Sherlock Holmes and a certain fanged gentleman. A cracking good read told in lovingly resurrected Victorian prose style, from the point of view of Watson, it gives a great insight into both characters. It also lovingly conjures up the seaside town of Lyme Regis, to the point where you feel you are walking down the streets with the characters. A delightful fusion of styles and concepts and a really clever idea, this deserves to turn into a successful series.- Bookworm Magazine David Ruffle has taken on the challenge of writing a short novel in the style of Dr Watson, and all in all he does pretty well. The characters are distinct individuals: the charming landlady, the insufferable police inspector, Watson's friend the local doctor, and all the others. And the plot is undeniably exciting!- Roger Johnson, The Sherlock Holmes Society. I shall miss reading of the adventures and mysteries that both Holmes and Watson encounter in Lyme Regis. It has been a joy to read them. The Lyme Regis Trilogy has its spot on my bookshelf and justly deserves the praise it has received. Lyme Regis also now has a special place amongst the many stories written of Sherlock Holmes. It would not surprise me if it were mentioned in another Sherlock Holmes story. However I hope that it will not be the last of the Sherlock Holmes stories we are gifted with from David Ruffle. I hope there will be tales to come! Until then the Game will always remain afoot.-The Tin Despatch Box If you love Sherlock Holmes, buy Holmes and Watson: End Peace today. If you love good books, buy this today. If you ever wondered what happened to any of your favourite characters, buy this today. If you would be interested in listening in on a "final" retrospective conversation between Holmes and Watson, then seriously, buy this today. This book is well worth its weight in gold. It is fun, mysterious, emotionally captivating, full of twists and did I mention it's 100% dialogue! No filler, no fluff, just the words of our beloved Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Well done Mr. Ruffle, well done.- Joe Riggs, Mentalist.
