Quotes

“An extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to the evolving Sherlock Holmes canon.” Midwest Book Report

“Lovegrove, the author of Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon, a superior novel-length pastiche, is just as adept at conveying the spirit of the Holmes canon in short form, as shown in this solid collection of twelve original and reprinted stories…Sherlockians will welcome Lovegrove’s further efforts to emulate Conan Doyle.” Publishers Weekly

“Clever without ever being gimmicky and richly allusive without pretension, Lovegrove’s Sherlockiana provides the deductive puzzles, caustic asides, and nuanced Holmes-Watson friendship that distinguish Doyle’s canon.” Reviewing the Evidence

“Pitch-perfect. Lovegrove tells a thrilling tale and vividly renders the atmosphere of Victorian London.” The Guardian, praise for the author
