A huge thank you to Cuilin and Denise for not only hosting #NoPlaceLikeHolmes but also for the surprise goodies for participating in the group‘s discussions. I love everything, and I‘ve yet to read Moriarty, so this is perfect.

It was so odd to not have a Holmes story this past weekend! 😂

Your kindness is so appreciated, and thank you again for all of the work of hosting and posting!

Cuilin You‘re so welcome, I agree about not having a Holmes story this weekend. I mentioned it to my husband because it felt so strange. Thank you for all your participation. What a fun ride, now onto the pastiches!!! 2w
dabbe YAY! I missed Sherlock this weekend, too! I'm working on the pastiche rollout and will get out the wee gifts to the Sherlockians who signed up soon! 🧡💜💛 2w

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes
A visually rich companion to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s legendary canon, this book aims to make Holmes‘ world accessible through infographics, summaries, and analysis. It does not disappoint. The book meticulously breaks down all four novels and 56 short stories, providing plot summaries, character bios, and thematic insights. ⬇️

dabbe True to DK‘s style, the book excels in design, featuring flowcharts, timelines, and illustrations that clarify Holmes‘ deductive reasoning and Victorian-era context. Two items of note: 1. Each story summary reveals key plot twists, making it unsuitable for readers who haven‘t yet experienced the original tales. 2. While informative, the analysis lacks the depth of specialized works like Leslie Klinger‘s THE NEW ANNOTATED SHERLOCK HOLMES. 2w
kspenmoll Fantastic review! 2w
dabbe @kspenmoll TY! It was such a fun and helpful book while rereading the canon! 💛💜🧡 2w
