My Dearest Holmes by Rohase Piercy
5.0

This was a rather delightful little book. Very much in the tone of Doyle, it touched on the heartbreak of John Watson's being in love with Sherlock Holmes and thinking the other man indifferent.

Since I've been on a huge Sherlock Holmes kick (or mainly Sherlock/John, thanks to the new BBC show) I was thrilled to find this in the library, and devoured it. And it was adorable! Not fanfiction-y (which is a concern), no crazy sex-against-a-wall (which was, perhaps, a bit disappointing, but stuck with the time period)but conveyed the characters' emotions very well, and had a satisfactory ending that tucked nicely into Doyle's original works.

I wish there were more books like this one!
