A review by amibunk
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
4.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought the line between fiction and biography was wonderfully thin and well blurred inside this novel. It was difficult to know when one ended and the other began. It was almost like reading a stunningly well executed Dan Brown novel, only much better written, and without much Catholicism in it
. I also found the alternating point of view to be quite compelling (unlike several of the reviewers.) The fictional character, Harold, was quite a foil to the other character, Arthur Conan Doyle. The reader reaches the point by the end of the novel when he must ask, "Who is the actual hero in this book?" I believe that each reader would have a different answer to that question.
I recommend it to those who love Sherlock Holmes, literature, detective stories, and other writers of the late Victorian era.
