Synopsis

This book brings together a series of essays exploring “puzzlers” in and around Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. Topics include readings of The Devil’s Foot and the author’s cautious inclusion of Christian sacraments learned in childhood, alongside a “liturgical opposite” in the form of the Hebrew rabbi in Scandal in Bohemia.

Further pieces revisit The Boscombe Valley Mystery through a contemporary divining of a murder at Pemberley, offer a “definitive solution” and identification of Jack the Ripper, and consider The Salvation Army and suffragettes as they are “picked-on and prodded” in The Red-Headed League.
