You’ve seen the movies and shows.
The haunting but jaunty
violin music that follows Benedict Cumberbatch all over modern London.
The signature intense cuts of Guy Ritchie. The
unforgettable stained
glass knight. Joan Watson.
While you are waiting for Season 4 of Sherlock,
read the original series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Or look for these other modern spin-offs.
Anthony Horowitz sends Sherlock and Watson on a
new case in The House of Silk. He follows it up with Moriarty which
explores what happened to Sherlock and Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls. Although
it’s more graphic (ummm much more graphic) than the original mysteries, the
suspense is just as thrilling.
Laurie R. King focuses the plot around Holmes’
wife Mary Russell. King explains how they met with The Beekeeper’s
Apprentice. If you find yourself hooked, find the complete series list (in
order) here.
The star in these books is the exotic locale which varies in each book.
Julian Barnes sets the stage around Sherlock’s
creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in Arthur and George as he sets off
to solve a mystery in “real” life.
