		Millett's veteran readers will identify the malign genius behind this conspiracy well before the last page, and they may be disappointed with the minor role played here by Minneapolis saloonkeeper and series regular Shadwell Rafferty.
		Millett's ability to capture the voice of Watson (as created by Doyle) is the most appealing aspect of this tale.

		Larry Millett: "It was probably one of the two or three grandest houses on Summit Avenue-- the interior finishing of the house was splendid, most 19th century houses I refer to as "miniature deforestation projects", and this one had all of the elaborate woodwork that you would expect from a mansion of that vintage.."
		Larry Millett: "Two of the great houses that Ellis probably had a hand in, in one sort or another, were the John Merriam house-- and the Samuel Gale house which was over by Loring Park in Minneapolis on Harmon Place.-- They're Richardsonian Romanesque in style, which is kind of a heavy massive, forbidding style.

	Review \| Sherlock Holmes Reviews
		Millett is especially adept at bringing to life St. Paul's annual Winter Carnival, which in the last century was a most splendiferous affair.
		That doesn't excuse the fact that Millett sometimes has trouble reining in the length of scenes and too frequently eschews original imagery in favor of clichés ("darkness already drooping around us like a fl curtain"; "he was slightly stooped at the shoulders, as though worn down by the cares of the world").
		Some are interesting in their own right (where else, for instance, is one to learn the definition and disposal methods of "night soil"?), but most add little to the reader's understanding, while detracting from the narrative flow.

	Amazon.fr : Lost Twin Cities: Livres en anglais: Larry Millett,Mary Ann Nord (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Millett's carefully researched book is a valiant effort to reconstruct, in words and illustrations, this rich architectural legacy.
		The author (The Curve of the Arch, Minnesota Historical Society, 1985) presents an impressive sampling of the vanished buildings of the Twin Cities, tracing their history and including information on who the owners and architects were, how these structures were used, why they were torn down, and what occupies each site today.
		Whatever else they may be, cities are structures in time, where past and present mingle and the future gapes out from empty holes awaiting yet another round of development.

	Review of The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes, by Larry Millett
		Millett has done his research and his descriptions add verisimilitude to the story.
		Millett writes the kind of prose that is hard to put down.
		Millett has a good handle on the characters of both Holmes and Watson and the relationship between them and that is so important to writing pastiches.

	www.reviewingtheevidence.com \| SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE RUNE STONE MYSTERY, by Larry Millett
		Larry Millett is an experienced professional commentator on architectural developments in the Twin Cities.
		Millett has adopted the Conan Doyle style and is clearly comfortable with it, except for the inclusion of a few questionable modern phrases.
		Millett gives a whimsical nod to the conventions of the genre, admitting in a forthright manner, both in the introduction and on the first page, that coincidence plays a large part in this story.

	Amazon.ca: Disappearance Of Sherlock Holmes: Books: Larry Millett (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Millett's veteran readers will identify the malign genius behind this conspiracy well before the last page, and they may be disappointed with the minor role played here by Minneapolis saloonkeeper and series regular Shadwell Rafferty.
		In his disappointing fifth pastiche (after 2001's Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Alliance), Millett places Holmes and Watson in situations better suited to an Indiana Jones movie, with hairbreadth escapes, gun battles, chases and death traps.
		It may be time for Millett to transform this fully into a Shadwell Rafferty series or to apply his talents to a new series altogether.

	Boston Review: (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Against all odds, Larry Millett, a journalist in St. Paul, has devised a superior addition to the Holmes canon.
		Millett has Holmes and Watson answer railroad baron J. Hill's urgent request that they come to Minnesota to investigate a disturbing series of arson attacks against the railroad.
		The centerpiece of the story is an actual disaster, the Hinckley fire of 1894, and Millett deftly and cheerfully blends in characters from fictitious to historical.

		Millett has longish salt-and-pepper hair, bushy eyebrows, a stubbly, grizzled beard, and a general air of unsentimental avuncularity.
		About a week ago, he and his fiancée—the 59-year-old Millett will begin his third marriage this summer—moved into a condo in the James C. Burbank Row House, which might be the oldest row house in St. Paul, according to page 429 of the AIA Guide.
		Larry Millett was born in north Minneapolis, and excepting a few collegiate relocations, he has lived in the Twin Cities all his life.

	A&E
		In the course of gathering photographs for his book Twin Cities Then and Now, the follow-up companion to his immensely popular Lost Twin Cities, Millett uncovered a fl-and-white history depicting two cities virtually unrecognizable from the ones that now rise beside the banks of the Mississippi.
		In a series of "then vs. now" juxtapositions, the photographs in Millett's book illustrate the ironic processes of urban renewal which have, in fact, left Twin Citians with greater cause to mourn than to celebrate.
		Larry Millett offers a short history of urban design in the Twin Cities and suggests some possible outcomes to these questions.

	Larry Millett, The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes
		Of course, those stories didn't exactly feature Holmes himself, but the same general idea applies to Larry Millett's series of Holmes mysteries, which send the sleuth from London to the United States to investigate all manner of crimes with the assistance of an amateur from Minnesota named Shadwell Rafferty.
		Millett's skill at creating atmosphere is excellent, and the book's best chapters are the ones set in New York City, where one gets a distinct feel for the city's sprawling growth and the political corruption Holmes and Watson face there.
		The endnotes point to a problem I had with the book's "flow." Much of it is cast as excerpts from Dr. Watson's personal diaries, but occasionally Millett shifts to another character's point-of-view entirely, including Holmes after the "disappearance" of the title, depicted in the prologue.

		In Millett's Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Alliance, Shadwell Rafferty, an Irish saloon keeper and sometime detective, returns for his fourth adventure.
		The narrative flow is periodically broken by entries from Watson's journals, written in an elliptical style that omits certain short words and refers to characters by their initials.
		On the other hand, Millett provides a map and 20 pages of historical and explanatory notes at the end of his book, which lend an air of verisimilitude.

	Novel Gazing, 3 May 2004
		I dove into a collection of comparative photos of local scenes over time, Larry Millett's Twin Cities Then and Now, after this stupid virus and the Maple Leafs' ignominy already had me in my cheeriest mood.
		Okay, here's how to qualify as a good building in Larry Millett's world: 1) get built before 1950 (before 1910, if possible); 2) attempt to look as old as possible for that era.
		The city I love, my city, constantly gets comments like, "Nothing much needs to be said of this dreary view" and "this lifeless scene." The author's childhood memories are sacrosanct; mine are not to be considered; actual present use is beneath mention.

		Because I am attending the conference, I am reading parts of AIA Guide to the Twin Cities by Larry Millett.
		Millett says that the interior is "suave and gracious, the library delivers that most precious of architectural gifts - the natural daylight." He then compares the exterior to a stack of glass trays, four on one side and five on the other, with an awkward wing that swings up.
		If I were going to be at PLA, I would probably ditch every morning session in order to have breakfast at the Seward Cafe.

		From Larry Millett, author of the award-winning Lost Twin Cities, comes this fascinating book that explores the history of Minneapolis and St. Paul from the vantage point of their streets.
		"Because of their relative stability, streets offer an incomparable framework for looking at the urban past and comparing it to the present," writes Millett in his introduction to Twin Cities Then and Now, which consists of seventy-two historic street scenes matched with new photographs taken from the same locations.
		It is one of few class reading I enjoy (as well as Larry Millett's Lost Twin Cities).

		Millett’s Sherlock Holmes series since it began five years ago with SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE RED DEMON; since then there have been three more titles added to the series, each one just as satisfying as the first.
		With help from his trusty ally, John Watson, and their mutual friend, Saloon Keeper Shadwell Rafferty, Holmes follows a deadly trail from London, to Liverpool, to New York and on to Chicago.
		As with the previous books, Millett has done extensive research in order to put Holmes and Watson into very real settings and intermingling with real historical figures.

	Amazon.com: Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon: Larry Millett: Books
		Millett capitalizes on expected Sherlockian gimmicks ("parlor tricks" of deduction, hints of unrecorded grotesque cases, Holmes's masterful disguises and Watson's pomposity) but fails to probe beneath the surface of Holmes's popular image.
		An urgent, lucrative demand from railroad tycoon James J. Hill sends Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the pine forests of Minnesota, which a letter-writer calling himself the Red Demon has threatened to set afire, destroying 85 miles of Hill's Eastern Minnesota Railway along with the surrounding landscape.
		Minnesota journalist Millett has mastered neither the cadences nor the exclusions of Watson's narrative--the story is full of tedious details Watson would have excised--but its colorful, improbable incidents and its attention to clues make it a respectable example of mid-grade Sherlockian foolery.
