Sherlock
I'm reading 'The Complete Sherlock Holmes' at the moment. I love it. So many short stories I had never heard of.
I've been investigating the reviews on Amazon, and I wonder if Conan Doyle appreciated to what extent he had captured the 'soap' quality that continually draws an audience back - in this case to that little 'bubble' in Baker Street?
As one reviewer puts it: "I am tempted to compare this book to coming home on a frosty evening to a comfortable chair infront of a roaring log fire."
Certainly, the plots are unfathomable, and Holmes' reasoning beyond comprehension - so I guess it's the 'comfy chair' that does it for me.
I also wonder if Conan Doyle was on a bet to use the word 'singular' a thousand times in print!
