Synopsis:
All too soon, Doyle's somewhat unwilling, gentle probing into the case causes the finger of suspicion to turn toward him. But can the creator of the famous detective actually do the sleuthing himself? As Doyle learns more and more about the famous character he penned, he finds he is less like Sherlock and more like his sidekick, Watson. Can the "sidekick" see enough of the picture to solve the case for once?
Review:
This is the first book of a planned trilogy featuring Doyle. Many authors could easily relate to Doyle's unease and wanting to get away from his character of Sherlock Holmes, and his love/hate relationship with him. I was actually not surprised to read how Doyle more associates with Watson, as I have long held the thought that Watson was the underdog whop knew more that we, the reader, was allowed to know! This was an interesting take on the concept of author turned sleuth, and the many twists and turns may keep you reading til the very end, to discover the mystery behind the mysteries!
has fascinated readers since he first burst into fiction, over one hundred years ago. In this novel, the first in a trilogy, we meet his author and discover the difficult relationship between them.
