Review:

"The Holmes Affair is a brilliantly executed must-read for all admirers of historical fiction, Sherlock Holmes and intellectual mysteries. Engrossing, suspenseful and fast-paced, this debut novel manages to be both highly original as well as deeply reverential to its literary sources. It's difficult to find a new spin on Sherlock Holmes, but Graham Moore has pulled it off with flying colors" -- Matthew Pearl "A delight, and you don't need to be a Holmes buff to enjoy it" * Daily Mail * "Clever and intriguing" * Guardian * "A must for fans of the Baker Street sleuth" * Yours *
