Avouons-le d’entrée de jeu, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle m’ennuie comme écrivain. Je trouve son style souvent trop maniéré pour me séduire. Pourtant, son personnage| De l\'autre côté des livres
The Hound of the Baskervilles is the most famous Sherlock Holmes adventure. That made it the natural choice to kick off a series of television movies starring Ian Richardson. The plan was to create six but HBO were thwarted by an unexpected competitor.| Mysteries Ahoy!
Hi all: I bring you a book by a classic and very famous writer, although it was quite a surprise to me, and not one I had come across before. It is not one of her best, in my opinion, but it is a f…| Just Olga
One of the most delightfully odd tales in the Sherlock Holmes canon, “The Red-Headed League” showcases Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s talent for mixing humor, eccentricity, and classic detective work into a perfectly crafted short story. “The Red-Headed League” was first published in The Strand in 1891. The Plot Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story The […]| Golden Age of Detective Fiction
Is there any fictional character who has been showered with parodies, pastiches, homages and adaptations as much as Sherlock Holmes? Has anyone even tried to keep track of all the stories…| Ah Sweet Mystery!

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective was released in 1982, apparently to great critical acclaim. I’ve been thinking about it recently because while I play it cooperatively, I think it would be a fine solo game, and solo gaming is having a bit of a moment. It’s also inspired many imitators.| The Benign Brown Beast

I’m a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and I’m a fan of a good Sherlock Holmes pastiche, so when Holmes and Moriarty (2024) by Gareth Rubin floated across my radar as being endorsed by the Conan…| The Invisible Event
Sometimes the Holmes canon surprises me; I have very fond memories of certain stories, while others are almost a complete blank.| The Invisible Event
Is this the the best title in the Sherlock Holmes canon? I don’t mean the best story, but rather the most intriguing combination of words put together to entice you in.| The Invisible Event
Many authors and film-makers would seek to overturn this in the years ahead, but as far as the canon goes we find ourselves visiting Sherlock Holmes’ first ever case.| The Invisible Event
Another month, another Sherlock Holmes pastiche, this time from the very enjoyable US TV series Elementary (2012-19). My belated discovery of two novelisations in that universe was a source of imme…| The Invisible Event

Years ago, as a younger and callower man, I swore that the only Sherlock Holmes stories I would read were those written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Then I became a John Dickson Carr fan, and it’s …| The Invisible Event
This slipped by me in February, but today I learned A Man Named Baskerville is reviewed positively at Melisende’s Library: This is the much needed backstory of the character of Stapleton from Conan Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles”. It is exceedingly well done and in keeping with Conan Doyle’s original story. … Heartily recommended for […]| Jim Nelson
If you’re a NetGalley member, my Sherlock Holmes-inspired novel A Man Named Baskerville is now available for download and review. Baskerville is my take on the Arthur Conan Doyle classic.
