The world’s leading Doylean scholar is found murdered, and only Harold is familiar enough with the Holmes novels to recognise the clues the killer has left. Clues which will lead him not only to a murderer, but also to the mystery of Conan Doyle’s missing diary – and a secret that Conan Doyle risked everything to hide…

Light but interesting

I liked this storyline. It was well written and narrated. An interesting twist! It scored four because it didn't have a sharpness or edge.

Holmes or Watson? This book?

Two interesting plotlines, I enjoyed the story, but found the dire accents of some characters very distracting!

Good story, terrible accents!
