I see that this is part of a series. I've never read any of the others, but this one still made sense.

The pace was a bit slower than I'd hoped, but overall, it was an okay mystery. It's a modern take on Sherlock Holmes. There was a larger focus on Lucy and Watson than I expected.

Great book. Another adaptation on the Sherlock Holmes genre. The story is written and seen through the eyes of Watson and Lucy, with Watson having being kidnapped and Lucy working with Sherlock to stop an assassin, the story takes us on a mad ride through bombs, the orient express and double dealing to Constantinople.
A fast moving books, which has your heart in your mouth at times, there is never a dull moment. Easy to read and a book I did not want to put down.

Great fun. Sherlock Holmes teams up with his illegitimate daughter, Lucy James, to rescue Watson from an assassination in Constantinople. Or is Watson rescuing them? The authors' evocation of Holmes' and Watson's voices is spot-on, and Lucy is a fully formed character, blessed with her father's capacity to deduce and disguise, but with her own unique warmth and humor. The scenes of Watson on the Orient Express are particularly effective - tense and skillfully described. I am looking forward to the next book.

Watson is kidnapped and, while pretending to be unconscious, overhears an assassination plot in Constantinople. Unable to contact Holmes, sought by the law, and with the aid of a woman murderer, he manages to board the Orient Express disguised as one, Lord Harwell, on a dangerous mission to try to foil the plot.

At the same time, Lucy, and Holmes, have been searching both for Watson as well as the man whose identity Watson has adopted. Learning of Holmes' escape, they, too, head for Constantinople in hopes of heading off the assassination which Holmes knows could throw the nation into war.

Watson on the Orient Express is the eighth entry in the Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery series by Anna Elliott and Charles Veley. The book is divided between Watson's and Lucy's narration and, although Holmes is present, this is definitely their book and it is a whole lot of fun There are plenty of twists and turns and red herrings as well as Holmesian deductions and puzzles to grab the reader's attention and keep them glued to the page. Another well-written and entertaining addition to the Holmes canon.

I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read and held my attention throughout. I liked a modern take on the sherlock Holmes stories. The characters are great.

I enjoyed this new book in this series. The characters are interesting and the mystery kept me guessing. More focused on Watson and Lucy than the other characters in the series. I like reading about the Orient Express as well.

I appreciate having had an opportunity to read and review this book. The appeal of this particular book was not evident to me, and if I cannot file a generally positive review I prefer simply to advise the publisher to that effect and file no review at all.

This is an honest review in exchange for an arc copy from netgalley.
I loved this book, I’m a real Sherlock fan and it was good to read a story about my favourite detective. This was great as it was all about Dr Watson. It was a thoroughly good romp of a read. It was fun, light enough to read with a cup of tea and cake. I haven’t read any other books in the series but I definitely will revisit them.
This was funny, charming, descriptive, exciting and a lovely read.
I’m so glad I’ve found a new series to plough through.
