Davies is one of the best writers of Sherlockian pastiches, and the two short stories presented here are fine examples of his work.
As those well versed in Doyle's Holmes will recall, "The Darlington Substitution Scandal" is one of the many cases mentioned in Watson's narratives that were never actually written as short stories or novels.
Here, Davies has taken the title and formed a good plot around it, fleshed-out with such detail and in such a Watson-like narrative voice, that one could actually believe the story to be part of Doyle's canon.
Since a few other stories offering an alternate explanation of the events occurring at the Reichenbach Falls have been written, I wasn't as impressed with "The Reichenbach Secret" but it also features a credible Watsonian tone and spirit, and therefore is worth a listen or two.
