Sherlock in Love: A Novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Reader Reviews 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Sooooo disappointed, November 18, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from Orange, CT United States Initially, I was excited to read this book. Though not a Sherlock Holmes fan per se, I LOVED Ahab's Wife and am always on the lookout for books that take common "folklore" and look at it from another perspective (e.g. Wicked by Maguire). Anyway, though the beginning dragged, eventually I got into this book and was happy to read along to its conclusion. But at the end (which luckily came quickly - a fast read), I said to myself, "so what?". There were themes of feminism and magic and friendship that weren't well-developed. But I guess that is good - otherwise the book would have been longer and I might have just put it down.
