I just finished The Sherlockian by Graham Moore. While I did not know what to expect, it turned out to be a really great book. As someone who has been a fan of the Sherlock Holmes canon for several years, I thought this was a well-written mystery.
The is not a novel about Sherlock Holmes per say. It is instead about two stories, both that are closely related to the great detective. One of the stories centers on Arthur Conan Doyle, the celebrated author of Sherlock Holmes, as he works to solve a case of murders in London with his friend, Bram Stoker. The other story centers on Harold White, a member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a group that is obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and contributes scholarly articles to its members. Harold is working on another mystery in an attempt to solve the mystery of who killed Alex Cale, another member of the Irregulars, who was long in pursuit of Conan Doyle's missing diary.
The book proved to be very good and both stories were intriguing with well-developed compelling characters.
