A compulsive puzzler that takes off as if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were alive today. This is a fun read; a period piece with plucky Cockneys, pompous noble folk and swashbuckling Satanists. I enjoyed it. "A winner from the first page to the last shivery sentence" -Kansas City Star

A clever work of fiction which has Arthur Conan Doyle pursuing an evil brotherhood determined to expand its considerable power and influence with fiendish assistance from supernatural forces. Set in Victorian England, this tale is a fast paced thriller by the co-creator of 'Twin Peaks.'

Set in Victorian England, a chilling and diabolical mystery. Evil, death, the occult, "malevolence born of the darkest nightmares" No, it's not Holmes - but a doctor named Doyle - Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle - who's out to solve the mystery... The game's afoot!

This has to be one of the best mystery books I have ever read.
The List of Seven is a well-written, fast-paced, page-turning murder mystery with bits of the occult sprinkled in. Mark Frost's main character is a young Arthur Conan Doyle, a struggling writer and an equally struggling new doctor. When his manuscript 'The Dark Brotherhood' ends up in the wrong hands, that's when things get interesting.
Frost has done a great job of creating a Holmes-like character that will eventually become the inspiration for this fictional Doyle's future stories. Fans of the real Doyle and Holmes will appreciate Frost's ability to create an entertaining, intriguing, and authentic world with a tale that is both creepy and compelling.
This is easily a 5-star book in my opinion. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good 19th century London murder mystery. For fans of the real Sherlock Holmes, this book will not disappoint. It's a win-win for everyone, and an absolute must read.

Beach novel. Suspense, action and fast pace. Not a lot of depth, but who needs depth when you are relaxing and want a fast read?

An EXCELLENT book set in the Victorian time of Arthur Conan Doyle. Fast paced and entertaining. Made me go looking for the next book, "The 6 Messiahs." I really wish the author had written more - both books were great.

Good story, but the writing style is florid and contrived.
