Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes by Maria Konnikova

2.0

Sells itself as being about observation and deduction, but more of ‘self-help’ exhortation to keep your “mind attic” clear of clutter and similarly vague things. It has some interesting case studies that here and there, but if you’ve read ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’ you’ll be familiar with them and the general ‘hypothesis’ of the book.
