The Sherlockian by Graham Moore

It's been a while since I've read a mystery and this was a lot of fun! The story is really the telling of two mysteries one set in present day dealing with a murder and the theft of a lost Sir Arthur Conan Doyle diary and the other is about Doyle himself and Bram Stoker solving the murders of two women.
What a brisk story that wastes zero time moving along. I liked how the chapters switched between time periods as it really kept your interest and kept things moving along. Overall I enjoyed the Doyle and Stoker mystery more as it was simply more interesting. The modern day story was fine, but the fact the murder was actually a suicide was kind of lame and the fact they THREW THE FUCKING DIARY AWAY?!?!? Total bullshit and an insult. A true book lover and literary scholar would NEVER have allowed that.
