Being a fan and a reader of Sherlock Holmes I did not know how I would do with this book. But I was pleasantly surprised at how it went with other Holmes books in the way it was written with the characters and just the overall feel of the story a very good book.

This is a really solid entry into the crowded world of Sherlock Holmes adaptations. I know there are lots of options out there for Sherlock lovers. I think this is worthy of a spot in most public libraries.

Fun mystery featuring Holmes and Watson. They set out to prove a relative of one of Holmes past enmities is guilty of murder times two.

Basically The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg was interesting to me because of her connection to Sherlock. She solved cases using the same analytical thinking he used. This made the entire book fascinating sine it is so different from most modern mystery books today’s

I love Sherlock Holmes, and I generally love pastiches, but this felt pedantic. The writing felt as if it was trying too hard to be like Doyle without actually capturing the essence of the stories, even with bending the probability of Sherlock Holmes having a daughter.

As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I was excited to see this - and it did not disappoint. Definitely evokes the flavor of the original Canon, has good (and plausable!) deductive reasoning, and made me think I was reading a new book by Doyle himself. Looking forward to a sequel!

A young woman awakens one morning lying outside of the British Museum. She has no memories of who she is, where she came from, or what she has been doing. The only thing she knows is that the name of Sherlock Holmes holds some meaning for her. As she tries to piece together clues to her identify, the narrator finds herself caught up in the midst of danger, crime, and conspiracies.

While the narrator was fun, there really wasn’t much character development. She seems to be very perfect and does not have any flaws. She is beautiful, intelligent, and can fight fight. She has a love of solving crimes and chasing after criminals. Despite these characteristics, there was no depth to her. She didn’t have any flaws. Even when we learn of her identity, there were no conflicts that she was dealing with. Even though there was a lack of character development, readers will still enjoy the narrator’s pluckiness.

Overall, Remember, Remember was filled with adventure, intrigue, and action. The mystery was very predictable, and seemed to be very drawn out. The other supporting characters seemed to be very one-dimensional. I didn’t really get a good glimpse of them, especially Sherlock and Watson because they didn’t appear until half the book. When they did appear, they seemed like caricatures of the Doyle’s version. However, despite the novel’s flaws, it was an enjoyable and light read. It was very fast-paced and action-packed. The setting of Victorian London seemed very realistic. I did like the witty dialogue between the characters. Thus, reading this novel was a very delightful way to spend an afternoon. Remember, Remember will not only appeal to fans of Sherlock Holmes, but also to those who love The Secret Life Anna Blanc, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, and A Curious Beginning.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes makes a good read for fans of Sherlock and Dr John Watson.

Sherlock is no longer alive and the plot follows the supposed suicide of a man who has incurred debt and is seen falling to his death by Joanna Blalock (Sherlock's daughter) and her young son. She and Dr Watson, now in his old age, and his son John Jnr, believe the death to be suspicious especially when it is followed by another. Both men are found to be connected to a doctor, with whom all three had served in the Second Afghan War.

The only weakness I found in the book was the romantic interest between John Watson Jnr and Joanna which was rather Mills & Boon I felt, and unnecessary to the narrative. Otherwise an enjoyable read as Joanna uses the same instincts as her father to solve the crime. Thanks to Netgalley and St Martins Press/Minotaur for the opportunity to read this unusual story.

Okay, full disclosure....anything Sherlockian grabs my eye...but I am SUPER picky.

This book did not disappoint my Sherlock mystery love. Super smart....

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg takes us on a mystery with as much skill in using deductive logic to solve the mystery as the original Holmes stories themselves. From the children of many of the characters found in the Holmes stories come a wonderful new tale that will keep you guessing until the end.

There is Joanna, Sherlocks' daughter, as well as Dr. Watson and his son, also Dr. Watson. There is a criminal to rival the infamous Moriarty himself. Filled with mystery and suspense this book will not disappoint true fans of Sherlock Holmes.

I liked how the character and the story developed. I hope the author writes more books about the daughter of Sherlock Holmes in the future. If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes you will enjoy this book.

I acknowledge that I received this book free of charge from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of it.

Leonard Goldberg introduces us to another competent female sleuth, Joanna Blalock, the title character in THE DAUGHTER OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. With myriad references to that classic mystery series, Goldberg also introduces the sons of both Watson and Lestrade and the daughters of both Holmes and Mrs. Hudson. With Watson senior they attempt to solve a mystery involving the deaths (by purported suicide and suspicious accident) of two former soldiers. Of course, this leads to the capture of the son of one of Holmes' enemies.

While searching for a treasure, decrypting secret codes and dispensing medical knowledge, personality traits reappear across the generations. When asked, "How is it that you make so much from so little?" Joanna replies, "It is because I have observed and you have only seen." She refers to Holmes' text on the art of deduction, noting "at times, the most obvious is the most easily overlooked." Readers will likely be channeling Holmes' pomposity and brusqueness – indeed, it seemed to me that both Watsons deferred to a surprising extent to an obviously intelligent, though young, woman. THE DAUGHTER OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is not intended for fans of "pure" Sherlock Holmes, but definitely has appeal and will likely lead to several sequels chronicled by John Watson, Jr. There's even a third generation ...

There are just some tag words that have me reaching for a book without doing much preliminary investigation whether a book is for me. ‘Sherlock Holmes’ in title or blurb would be one of those. Pair that with the idea that he has a daughter and she, a keen observer, setting out on her first mystery and I’m all in.

THE DAUGHTER OF SHERLOCK HOLMES takes place after the death of Holmes with Watson in his old age. Watson’s son, Dr. John Watson, Jr. is the narrator of the story explaining how they got the case and met Joanna Blalock, the daughter of Holmes. There was more than a nod toward Holmes’ original creator, Arthur Conan Doyle’s writing style and the fun inclusion of a whole younger generation representing the familiar cast of supporting characters in the Holmes’ universe.

I got the feeling this was an homage to the great detective and Watson so I allowed the story to wink and grin at me when it came to all the characters being a junior version of the original cast. They aren’t all identical shadows, but a fan will easily recognize this cast of characters and even the storyline with the mystery bearing resemblance to The Sign of the Four.

I did feel poor Lestrade, the Scotland Yard detective, was a tad inept and there were moments when I thought Joanna wasn’t as keen an observer and analytic as her famous father, but I thought both the Watsons were just right. And Toby Two… that was fun to get the hound back on the scent. I would have loved to have seen Joanna’s son, Johnnie get a larger role. The young genius made his appearances and bore a stronger resemblance to Holmes than his mother.

The mystery was not that difficult. They knew who it was quickly enough, but they needed solid proof and they needed to head him off before he did further trouble. There was some plodding along as they tracked down each clue and discussed how it was deduced. It took its time and built to an ending that paid-off the earlier time taken to line up all the ducks and work a trap for a cunning fish.

There is a whiff of romance, but it is not the focus of the story by any stretch. Their chemistry was more as a detecting team first and foremost.

I would equate THE DAUGHTER OF SHERLOCK HOLMES to a historical cozy mystery in style, pace, and format. It was a good one to curl up with, offer some light entertainment, and great fun for the Holmes’ fan.

By the title alone you already get a good idea of what the book is about. And after reading it, it was everything I could have hoped for. Love mystery and suspense wondering when a death would occur next and how they were connected. Then in the end how everything came together in the story I really enjoyed it. I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes and getting this kind of extension is pretty cool. Overall 5 out of 5 stars.

A very intro to Sherlock Holmes daughter, good mystery well done. I look forward to the next installment.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes is another take on the next generation of the famous Holmes-Watson detective series. This one takes place after Holmes has died and features the elderly Watson, his son John, and Holmes' daughter, Joanna. The three characters carry on the legacy built up by Holmes and Watson of using deductive reasoning to solve crimes. I really liked the writing style and found the pace to be pleasant. The author told a very good detective story with the just right amount of historical detail. Unfortunately, the character development was a little flat. While I understood that Joanna is Holmes' daughter and the author did a good job of building her character around this, that was about all I got from her when she had so much more going on personally that was overlooked. She is a mother and grows very close to John during their investigation. To me, these parts of her character were treated the same way as what she ate for dinner - there was very little personal connections to these characters. I really was hoping to get the non-Holmes sides of Joanna a bit more. I liked her as a character, but felt like the author held back on details that could have made me like her more.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg is the first book of Goldberg's that I have read. The book cover is gorgeous and I am sure that it alone will attract some readers.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes would be an excellent book for fans of Sherlock Holmes. Even though I was never a fan, I enjoyed the book. It was very well written and I found the tone to be somewhat nostalgic and clever.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes is not a complicated mystery but it is an excellent story. Highly recommend.

READ IT. That is the best advice I can give. Just READ IT. The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes is a story that can be enjoyed by anyone simply looking for a good read, or by someone who is familiar with the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and hoping for a worthy successor. The characters are well written, the cover art is stunning.~ The story weaves originality and references to familiar to the world of Sherlock Holmes so well you are transported by Leonard Goldbergs writing. . 5 Stars and it deserves 10.

I have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories many times. I'm willing to give almost any Holmes-inspired tale a read. I also liked the idea of a mystery featuring the hidden daughter of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler as detective. I liked this book. It was almost an homage to the Holmes stories rather than a new, original take, but it was an entertaining read.

Only Dr. Watson survives from the cast of characters in the original Holmes stories. The new characters are all sons and daughters of the original characters. There is the titular daughter of Sherlock Holmes, Joanna Blalock, as well as Watson's son, also a doctor named John Watson. We also have Miss Hudson living downstairs and making meals for Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and even the son of an old nemesis, Christopher Moran.

The answer to the mystery in this book was quickly found, with the bulk of the investigating focused on finding enough evidence to bring the criminal to justice. It also used a number of plot points from original Holmes stories, such as a difficult-to-break code and a stolen treasure. The chemistry between the Watsons and Joanna Blalock during the investigation was fun to witness. The romance was a bit interesting, particularly if you think of Joanna and John as extensions of Holmes and Watson.

Overall, an entertaining read. Recommended for Sherlock Holmes fans. Also, fans of Laurie R. King's Mary Russell series may enjoy this book.

*I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

I love Sherlock Holmes and detectives who use deductive reasoning and the powers of observation to solve a case, so when I saw this one pop up on Netgalley I immediately requested it. I feel so incredibly lucky to been given the chance to read this book early.

There are rarely dull or slow moments in this book, with most pages being paramount for the mystery. Now, it is plainly obvious who the villain is, this is not the mystery, but the how and why. Therefore, in a way this almost seemed like a cozy mystery to me.
We all know Sherlock Holmes, Watson, Lestrade, Irene Alder, and the crew so reading about their children is quite a treat. Because of how known these characters are (or at least their parents of who they are supposed to resemble) there is not much character development or description. Which I thought for a book like this, is fine-- really the story and the mystery is the important part.

The mystery, some was easy to get, some was a surprise, but all in all it was a fun ride.
The romantic aspect.... it threw me, to be sure. I don't think it was truly needed and I might have preferred everyone to be friends, but it is also sweet in a way.

If you enjoy a good mystery and are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, then I think you may really enjoy this book. For one thing, I know I will be checking out more of this author's works.

One of my favorite things about the older mystery novel is the comradery between the detectives and their companions. Whether it be Sherlock and Watson or Poirot and Hasting, there is always this sort of master and apprentice relationship going on. “The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes,” has made the irksome decision to throw a bit of romance into it. Coupling that with the name-dropping of familiar names and it becomes quite clear who the baddies are and what happened even by chapter 4 entitled “Christopher Moran.” There might have been a slight mystery around who Joanna Blalock might be if the book wasn’t called “The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes.”
Throughout the entire book, all of the characters seemed to be the children of Arthur Conan Doyle’s characters. The ones that weren’t, simply were there to be discredited or move the story along. I suppose this would be a good book for a younger set that may not have read the Sherlock Stories but for someone who enjoys the stories in their original and the more modern counterparts, this story felt like a mimic of the originals.
