Sherlock Holmes is comfortably retired. He spends his days in the Sussex countryside, tending his bees. But there is a war on and Mycroft Holmes, a senior ranking official at the War Office, believes his brother’s peaceful retirement must come to an end if the allied armies are to defeat the Kaiser. Dr. Watson, at the behest of Mycroft, is charged with cajoling Holmes away from Suffolk comfort to serve his country. Their mission is simple enough: find out how the Germans are intercepting British communications. But before they get to the front line, the pair uncover an elaborate spy-ring at the British Army’s Salisbury headquarters, involving Stonehenge, phosphorous rocks, marionettes and an alarmingly long-range German plane. The hunt for the conspirators and the secrets they posses takes Holmes and Watson on a wild chase through the English countryside and eventually to the Western Front itself…. ‘Sherlock Holmes on the Western Front’ is Holmes’ most daring adventure to date. 'A treat for any fan of the master detective.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Cold Kill'. Val Andrews (15 February 1926 – 12 December 2006) was a music hall artist, ventriloquist and writer. Andrews was a prolific writer on magic, having published over 1000 books and booklets from 1952. He also authored Sherlock Holmes pastiches and Houdini's novels.

Mycroft leans on Watson to importune Holmes away from his behives, and investigate. Soon Holmes and Watson are entertaining at an Army base near Stonehenge, with Holmes on violin and Watson on piano(!). Spies are quickly uncovered, and Holmes and Watson take their places, passing over to France, where eventually, flying over areas well behind the battlefronts (contrary to the title) Watson's sharp eyes and Holmes' powers of ratiocination soon reveal a dastardly scheme to win the war on behalf of the Kaiser!Like many of Andrews' Holmesian pastiches, this is told in a leisurely fashion, with virtually no action. In fact there are quite a few signs Andrews is tiring of the whole pastiche business, including Holmes mocking himself not once but several times.If you've read previous books from this author and publisher, you'll know pretty much what to expect.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Holmes at War By Raven Sherlock Holmes on the Western Front by Val AndrewsThe year is 1916 and the Great War is raging in Europe. Doctor Watson is strolling in St James’s Park, on his way to a command visit to the Diogenes Club. There Mycroft informs him that Sherlock Holmes has refused to aid in the war effort, and that Watson must persuade Holmes to acquiesce to undertaking a mission for the Crown.Holmes finally agrees. He and Watson are to go to the Western Front disguised as musicians. Holmes will play violin and Watson the piano to entertain the troops at Salisbury. They are joined by a Mr. and Mrs. Brand, who perform a marionette show. Part of their show is assisted by Sergeant Johnson’s manipulation of a spotlight to make the marionette skeleton look even more realistic.At Stonehenge, Holmes and Watson are startled by a German airplane which swoops over the monument and turns back across the channel. A stone is discovered which is daubed with florescent paint. It has obvious signs of being moved. The pattern of marks in the earth is a match for the position of strategic villages on the coast.Holmes discovers that messages are being passed in this way to the low flying plane. He sets a trap to expose the traitor that is helping the Germans. But his work will not been finished for some time.The story is a nice historical fiction piece. The exposures of the traitors and the discovery of the German war strategy is well written. I give the book four stars.Quoth the Raven…
