MURDER MOST IRREGULAR by H. Paul Jeffers St. Martin's Press, 1983, $11.95. A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper The Baker Street Irregulars (a real-life Holmesian "fan club") are being killed off by a mysterious assassin in the style of various villains from the Holmes stories (didn't I see something like this in THEATRE OF BLOOD??). It might have been passable if 1) the characters weren't so closely identified with real people--the Isaac Asimov character in particular, and 2) the murderer wasn't so obvious from practically the beginning. For completists only. Evelyn C.
