The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
Adult Fiction – New Book Shelves Main Level Mystery Moore
Harold White is the newest member of the Baker Street Irregulars, the preeminent Sherlock Holmes society where obsessive Holmesophiles gather to debate and discuss matters concerning the Great Detective. When the society's preeminent scholar announces that he has found the missing volume of Arthur Conan Doyle's diary that has been the holy grail of Holmesophiles for decades and promptly turns up dead in his hotel room, Harold immediately decides to solve the mystery himself using Holmes' methods.
Harold's story is told concurrently with that of Arthur Conan Doyle's during the events in the lost diary, when Doyle himself attempts to solve a crime (with his sidekick Bram Stoker) during the "Great Hiatus" after Doyle killed Holmes off and before resurrecting him eight years later.
The story explains enough to be enjoyable to casual Holmes fans, but hardcore Holmesophiles will love it.
