The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes by Lyndsay Faye

5.0

Absolutely my favorite set of Holmes stories. I’d place these even above many of Conan Doyle’s originals. Faye gives the characters a heart and vibrancy they have never had before. I’ve read dozens of Holmes pastiches, but none had me feeling like Sherlock and Watson could actually be real people like this set did. She saw through the usual tropes and gave them depth and humanity, as well as writing engaging and creative mysteries for them to solve.

I am excited to read more by Faye!
