I love Sherlock stories!!
If you read Sherlock Holmes pastiche mostly for clever crimes and victorian atmosphere, this short story collection, starting with cases before the duo met and up to 1900, might not be for you.
If, on the other hand, you enjoy reading about Holmes and Watson's friendship, you should pick this up (let's be honest here, if they weren't friends, Watson would have strangled Holmes in their first year as flat mates).
I am a sucker for all things Sherlock so I enjoyed this one. There‘s some stories that didn‘t hold my attention as much as others. The narrator is fabulous. #readwomen
Love Sherlock stories. Especially in audio form. This set of stories would make Doyle proud.
In case you'd like to go back to traditional Holmes stories, while allowing a mix of originality from the author at the same time, this book's the one to pick.
Head over to our blog for an #authorinterview with Lyndsay Faye! She answers all sorts of nerdy, #sherlockian questions about her new short story collection THE WHOLE ART OF DETECTION: LOST MYSTERIES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Give it a read and then pick up a copy for yourself. It doesn't disappoint. 🕵️♀️🔍 #sherlockholmes

Thanks to the publisher for providing a digital galley of this book.
This was such a fun trip back into the world of Watson and Holmes. I feel like I needed this reminder after that horrendous season 4 of the BBC series( it's a given that Steven Moffat cannot help fucking up a thing I love) so it was nice to dive back into the historical fiction version. Faye has done an excellent job capturing Doyle's style of storytelling.
Out today! Reading this book feels like Lyndsay Faye entered the fictional world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and observed them first hand throughout their careers. The camaraderie between Watson and Holmes is perfect and the stories are a delight to get lost in. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, historical fiction, and well crafted sentences.
Sherlock Holmes stories and bourbon & ginger for a chill night. #booksandbooze
Holmes fanatics rejoice! Finally there is a collection of stories that adequately celebrate, and imitate, the original.
