A review by thereclamationproject
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore

2.0

I had high expectations for Graham Moore's The Sherlockian. Not necessarily because of the reviews of the book, so much as the subject. Harold White is the youngest member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a group of Sherlock Holmes scholars and aficionados. At their annual convention, one of their most famous members, Alexander Cale, is going to give a presentation on his finding of the infamous lost diary of Arthur Conan Doyle. The diary is reportedly from the period of Doyle's life that covers the time when he killed off Holmes and then resurrected him. It would be an incredible find for the Sherlock Holmes community. But before Cale can give his presentation, he's found murdered in his hotel room. White sets out to solve the murder and find the diary using Holmes's signature deductive reasoning. The search for the killer and diary takes him to London, retracing Cale's route of discovery.
