Review:

"Black Peter takes readers into the world of pirates with the murder of Captain Peter Carey, aka Black Peter. In Cardboard Box, a woman receives a box containing two human ears, possibly sent by a medical student seeking revenge because she had asked him to vacate the room he rented. The texts are simply written and easy to follow, and the illustrations help to keep readers involved in the stories. Each book includes a map of London, an illustrated cast of characters, and a letter from Dr. Watson explaining Holmes's logic in solving the cases. This graphic format brings the lesser-known Sherlock adventures to light. Readers who enjoy the series will be pleased with these additions." --School Library Journal
