The Sherlockian by Graham MooreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore is historical fiction for the Sherlock Holmes fan even if it is mostly about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story alternates between the mysterious death of a Sherlockian expert and an investigation by Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker into a letter bomb that Conan Doyle receives. Many of the elements of the story are true or based on true events even if they have been modified for the narrative.
As much as I enjoyed reading/watching Sherlock Holmes growing up, it is much harder now to get over the misogyny. This book doesn't shy away from pointing out how Conan Doyle felt about women in general even if he did love the ones in his life.
