The Coming of the Fairies | Arthur Conan Doyle

As a #sherlocked fanatic, I revere the original canon by C-Doyle. His belief and essay on fairies? #notsomuch #alittlecraycray

Bookwomble Doyle was sensible in not grafting his spiritualist beliefs onto the logical and materialist Holmes ("No ghosts need apply."), but his Professor Challenger stories did become a platform for them. The tagged biography is an interesting one in explaining how Doyle, the medical man of science, became an uncritical believer in the spirit world.

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read this, but I love the movie about it (FairyTale). I also read a rather interesting novel:

The Parasite | Arthur Conan Doyle

bailed

First chapter was enough for me. No....just no.... Wasn‘t at all digging the writing style or the story. What I can‘t believe is how The Art of War (which I listened to before this) was way more enjoyable than this😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

Chief Inspector Acton and Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle know firsthand how the administration of justice can often follow a labyrinthine path. As they pursue a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner, Acton's own questionable methods may prove his undoing....

This series is dark and weird and fun, but the plot twist in the end is a little repetitive... I think I am giving it one more book before I decide.

I am so torn about this series, but once I finish the book, I want to go on.

This detective duo is clinical dysfunctional and married. The husband's fixation on his wife drives most of the story and the mystery. Yes, it's a crime novel and it's an okay whodunit, but for me watching their relationship is like seeing a car accident... hard to look away.
