The Sherlockian by Graham Moore

(read aloud from iPad)

This is a clever, fun read that will delight and at times distress Sherlock lovers of all levels of devotion. Doyle is finished with Holmes, but Holmes is not finished with him, or is it vice-versa? The book is delightfully confusing as it rocks between centuries and two unfolding investigations with murders to be explained and murderers caught. Always the brooding presence of Holmes looms large and his obsessive fans delight and infuriate. With Bram Stoker surprisingly (to me) in a major starring role. Elementary, indeed.
