I enjoyed the collection of short essays comprised within this second volume of The Life and Times of Sherlock Holmes. Interesting tidbits and a variety of topics will interest any reader that wants to know more about life in Victorian England. My only problem is one that has lead me to wonder if there are more sources, besides Wikipedia (which is used numerously for multiple essays), that might be available for additional research into the topics discussed in this volume.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this work in exchange for an honest review.

I received a free copy through Netgalley, in return for an honest review.
This book is full of interesting information about the Victorian era, and things that come across in the Sherlock Holmes books (and other books from that time) that were common then, but are kind of forgotten now. I have not yet read any Sherlock Holmes books, but I'm certainly interested after reading this.

A very good book for all those who are interested in the background of Sherlock Holmes era or just in the Victorian age.
Well written and documented, and fun to read.

I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories. I read Holmes stories from different authors. But my favorite is always Arthur Conan Doyle. This book has lots of information and details about the Victorian era. I really enjoyed reading it.
