Alright, so while the esteemed Mr Sherlock Holmes is generally (but not, it must be noted, exclusively) on the opposite side of the law from us here on this blog, he and his exploits do have a lot that we can talk about. It would be foolish to suggest that Conan Doyle's almost 60 stories that did so much to establish the Detective Procedural have had no influence on say, the genre of the Heist Flick, or fiction that focuses on the execution of crime rather than its detection.
And so we are going to take a brief break, and wander into the territory of the enemy, because I was given the new “official” Sherlock Holmes novel – The House of Silk, buy Anthony Horowitz – for Christmas, and I have just finished reading it, so feel compelled to furnish you with my review.
