As the loyal followers of my blog probably know by now, Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite literary characters of all time. There is something […]

Taking Risks in Writing
So I know I haven’t posted in a while. College is kicking my butt. Anyway, I’m rereading The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz (#2 on Project: Sherlock rankings) and I’m remembering why it was so high on the list and one of my favorite books. The funny thing is, it was all set to win until a last-minute […]

Review: I Will Find the Answer
I Will Find the Answer by Kate WorkmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars It feels weird not putting this book under Project: Sherlock. This may take some getting used to. So, to start off, I have to be honest. It’s not as good as Populaire was, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be. That’s […]
Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Dr. Moreau by Guy AdamsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Sigh. Not a good book to end Project Sherlock on. You just can’t win them all. I half-expected this book to disappoint me. Over the course of this endeavor, I’ve come across books that really just flew off the edge […]
Closing in….
Sherlock Holmes is one of the greatest literary characters of all time.
