The Hidden Holmes: A Serious Rereading of the Stories and Novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with Analyses and Commentary Ira J Fistell

What readers have said about The Hidden Holmes:




"I congratulate you on finding a niche in Sherlockian scholarship. It's hard to find/write something that hasn't been done before. You did that and did it very well."




"This book is extremely readable, entertaining, and filled with smart, perceptive comments. It reads like a conversation."




"What sets The Hidden Holmes apart is how it works its way through the sixty tales, one story at a time. This gives you ample room to find insights."




"I liked your point that the stories have deeper social meanings."




"Among your insights, I thought your account of Dr. Doyle's extensive use of aptonyms was particularly compelling. To my knowledge, though others have noted individual examples, I can't think of anyone who has gone into such depth."




"Would I buy and recommend your book? Certainly!"
