The Stalwart Companions is in the new adventure series: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. If you are in the mood for an action-packed, tortuous mystery, The Stalwart Companions is a great choice! It was so good I was disappointed when it was finished.

The story is very well written and makes sense. There are no loose ends in the story that he forgot to tie up. Jeffers was also careful about incorporating real live characters into the story. He made it so the dialogue was like how it would have been back then. Jeffers truly makes it feel like the book takes place in the late 1800’s. This novel is exceptional!
