“Think Treasure Island’s Jim Hawkins and Encyclopedia Brown rolled into one adventurous, ingenious, God-fearing lad, and you get the idea. Fun, suspenseful, and unpredictable, the No Place Like Holmes books are fantastic reads, and author Jason Lethcoe is a fine craftsman of words to boot. I highly recommend this series.” ―Robert Liparulo, bestselling author of Dreamhouse Kings and The 13th Tribe

Unsettling Synthesis of Silly and Serious
By FredTownWard
It would appear that author Jason Lethcoe could not decide whether to write a silly or a serious Sherlock Holmes pastiche...
so he decided to write both.
Thus, a chock-full-of-silliness pre-prologue entitled "Separating the Facts" segues into a story in which twelve-year-old but old-man-weary Griffin Sharpe, still reeling from the permanent crippling he suffered at the hands of one of the Moriaritys in the first book No Place Like Holmes, which IMHO should be read first unlike what I did here, must suck it up for an even more deadly adventure, in which his parents are threatened, three main characters are killed (though only two permanently in this time scrambling tale), another is injured almost unto death, and another is imprisoned and savagely (though not graphically) tortured as his world gets remade into a living horror by a time traveling Moriarity.
Not exactly a "feel good read" and the author's repeated attempts to lighten the mood with silliness tend to fall pretty flat. And like most time travel stories, the longer you think about it, the more illogical and inexplicable paradoxes will come to mind.
However, if you can get past all that, it turned out to be an enjoyable if not outstanding read.
Note: this is a Christian children's book published by a Christian book publisher so if you have an aversion to Christianity, be ye warned. However, as other reviewers have noted, the Christianity herein is pretty superficial and almost feels like it was added as an afterthought to an already written story. The only part that felt overdone to me was the IMHO overlong discussion over whether a Christian can ever kill, as if the author isn't aware that an accurate, more modern English translation of the commandment in question would be, "You shall not murder," correcting a "misunderstanding" that it seems only we Moderns ever make.

Delightful, but the series title is all too accurate
By enubrius
If you are in the mood for a delightfully deranged adventure story, with charming characters and a wild, but fascinating "time travel" bent, I cannot recommend this latest Griffin Sharpe/Rupert Snodgrass tome too highly.
IF, however, you are of a Sherlockian nature, looking for something, um, Doylish, you'd best look elsewhere. For the series title of
"No place like Holmes" is, alas, no more than truth in advertising.
Indeed, you'd be far better off with Nancy Springer's marvelous Enola Holmes series, or Andrew Lane's better than average Young Sherlock Holmes books.
I have not read the first book in this series, but if the second is akin, the works owe a lot more to a Mr. Herbert George Wells than to Sir Arthur.
Oh, and an aside to author Lescoe; Not that it matters much, but 221A Baker Street would NOT be the apartment next to Holmes' 221B.
It would be, if anything, Mrs. Hudson's flat on the main floor.

Not perfect, but still a fun read
By J.Prather
The Future Door, the second installment in the No Place Like Holmes series was a fun read that is sure to engage young fans of mysteries and science fiction. It's a solid little time travel tale, and if it glosses over a few plot elements, it more than makes up for those shortcomings with its solid sense of time and place, its respectful nod to Mr. Doyle, and a brisk pace which guarantees those pages will keep turning long into the night. It is a surprisingly violent story; offset a bit by the author's careful attention to examining the consequences of those violent actions. Parents be warned that the author is quite adept at creating chilling imagery, and this one might be a bit much for younger readers.
My main concerns with this book lie with the main character, Griffin Sharpe. I love the idea of young Mr. Sharpe, but felt that at no time did he even remotely sound like a twelve year old boy. Sure, I understand his overwhelming intelligence and maturity are part of his character, however I wish the author would have let the twelve year old side of him out a bit more. He seemed like a sad, little old man through much of this story.
I was expecting a Christian theme in this story, however it felt like the author wrote the story, then thought "hmm, I really should add some Christian aspects to this", then went back and plopped a few prayers into what he had already written. I would have hoped that young Mr. Sharpe's Christian beliefs could have been more seamlessly integrated into the story, without the need to so blatantly hit the reader over the head with them at the expense of the narrative flow and the credibility of the character.
This book will certainly find its audience. It is a fun read that will hopefully introduce young readers to a character that they can look forward to enjoying for years to come. Even though it was just okay for me and mine, many young adventure seekers are sure to find much to enjoy in this series
