BOOK REVIEWS

The Sign of Four
‘Sign of Four’ (1890) shows early signs of Holmes’ iconic status
The Birds book
‘The Birds’ (1952) flies higher as a short story than as a movie
Eruption
‘Eruption’ is a disaster, but not in the intended way
Beloved
‘Beloved’ (1987) makes brutal U.S. history achingly personal
Extinction
‘Jurassic Park’-style concepts don’t face ‘Extinction’ yet
Hound of the Baskervilles
The moor the merrier in ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ (1902)
A Study in Scarlet
Legendary gumshoe takes first steps in ‘A Study in Scarlet’ (1887)
Dain Curse
Three-pronged plot of ‘The Dain Curse’ (1929) is worth the effort
Red Harvest Hammett
Continental Op makes rip-roaring leap to novels in ‘Red Harvest’ (1929)
Rebecca novel
du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’ (1938) a slower burn than the film
1 2 3 … 72
