not great, but entertaining

Best known as co-creator of Twin Peaks, Mark Frost puts his taste for the surreal to work as a storyteller in the Umberto Eco vein. In The List of Seven, he made Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into a fictional hero à la Sherlock Holmes, blending history and mystery into a fast-paced occult thriller.

The Six Messiahs catches up with Doyle ten years later, on his first visit to America. By abandoning foggy England for the wide-open West, Frost loses much of List's dense, gothic charm; luckily, the new book is still packed with appealing (as well as appalling) characters and mystic twists.

Like its predecessor, The 6 Messiahs straddles the gap between capital-L Literature and the popular thriller. This is a shaky position, but it yields a lot of fun. You could do far worse than this rollicking entertainment.
