'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as Retold by Sherlock Holmes' is a unique pairing of characters from two sets of stories as unlike as New Orleans and London but somehow the blend works.  That is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Holy Ghost Writer, whoever he or she is. The premise is that Sherlock Holmes is narrating to Watson the story of the adventures of Huck Finn as told to him by Finn himself when he attended Yale no less!  The story is light hearted and funny, and it is so rich in its descriptions the reader is able to sink into the pages and experience the adventure right along with Huck.  The sidebar of the interaction between Holmes and Watson and the added spice of learning what happens to Huck as he becomes a man is a great tale in and of itself.  This is the first I've heard of the Holy Ghost Writer, but won't be my last purchase of one of these books.  The author is an excellent writer and the story grabs you and won't let go until you've read it all.  Finally, on top of the entertaining narrative, the identity of the author is not only an intriguing mystery, but solving the riddle can make you some money!  What's not to love!  I highly recommend this book to those who remember the tales of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, to lovers of the Sherlock Holmes and Watson accounts, and to anyone who just likes a good read.  You won't be disappointed!
