Wonderful research

A collection of stoy and essays concerning Homes and related facts and analysis of the Homes Canon and related matters.

Very detailed

Great amount of information in a very well researched book. The narration was excellent. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

A delightful change of pace

Curious to learn more about the Literary Agent, and the world of his time? Want to hear some research on the use of the word alibi in the Canon?

Then you are considering the right book. This was something different from reading more pastiches of Holmes and Watson, but in the best way. A few of the articles did not translate well to audio, such as the bibliography of The Hound of The Baskervilles. But for the most part, they worked nicely.

I did ding the narrator a point for his mispronunciation of words, but that is my only knock against him.

All in all, this was an entertaining few days of listening.
