Lyndsay Faye : The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes:

Lyndsay Faye is one of the best of Holmes's more recent pastische writers, though she is an apologist for Watson. She gives him far more credit, honestly earned, perhaps, than Doyle ever did! The depiction of the Era is faithful to the canon, and presumably is accurate. I have enjoyed Fayes' writings and edits, but have difficulty accepting the "new" Watson!20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Sir would be proudBy C. LeightonI really did love this book! Lindsay Faye is the very best writer of Holmes pastiches. She captures the setting, atmosphere, Watson's narrative voice, Holmes' narrative voice and the overall style of Conan Doyle's original tales with uncanny mastery. I don't want to spoil it for anyone else, so I'll just add that "Memoranda Upon the Gaskell Blackmailing" was one of my favorites because it fills in the gaps of Holmes' absence in The Hound of the Baskervilles, has Holmes fussing about Watson's forgetting to pack his muffler and having it posted first thing in the morning, and, like "The Adventure of the Thames Tunnel," characterizes Holmes as emphatically not misogynistic. He's as kind, protective, sympathetic and gallant to women as he is the original stories. "The Adventure of the Beggar's Feast" and "Notes Upon the Diadem Club Affair" both illustrate Holmes' compassionate care for children-his band of Irregulars; it's an insightful inference I believe Conan Doyle would be pleased with. I don't agree with those authors who have condemned the detective for callous exploitation of these poor children. I find such negligence to be completely out of character. "Notes Upon the Diadem Club Affair" gives Watson the opportunity to neatly put Holmes in his place and also clears the detective of that appearance of avarice Conan Doyle included in "The Adventure of the Priory School." It also introduces a version of Sir Percy Blakeney, another of my all time favorite characters of fiction, whom I was delighted to see quite at home in this environment in a clever twist at the end. Like Dust and Shadows, this is a real treat for Holmes fans. I' hoping for more soon!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love Lyndsay FayeBy JoeI love Lyndsay Faye! Her interest in Sherlock Holmes is a gift to Sherlockians everywhere. This story collection was a joy to read. It is atmospherically and verbally faithful to the originals, but the plots are even more interesting and sophisticated (without being overblown) and the dialogue is just a bit edgier - borrowing just a little attitude from the modern Sherlock series. If you discovered (or are about to discover) Ms. Faye's writing through your interest in Sherlock Holmes, may I suggest that you check our her Timothy Wilde trilogy, which is absolutely captivating.

Internationally bestselling author Lyndsay Faye was introduced to mysteries when she was ten years old and her dad suggested she read Sir Arthur Conan Doylersquo;s “The Adventure of .rdquo; She immediately became enamored with tales of Holmes and his esteemed biographer Dr. John Watson, and later, began spinning these quintessential characters into her own works of fictionmdash;from her acclaimed debut , Dust and Shadow, which pitted the famous detective against , to a series of short stories for , whose predecessor published the very first Sherlock Holmes short story in 1891.Fayersquo;s best Holmes tales, including two new works, are brought together in The Whole Art of Detection, a stunning collection that spans Holmesrsquo;s career, from self-taught young upstart to publicly lauded detective, both before and after his over a Swiss waterfall in 1894. In “The Lowther Park Mystery,rdquo; the unsociable Holmes is forced to attend a garden party at the request of his politician brother and improvises a bit of theater to foil a conspiracy against the government. “The Adventure of the Thames Tunnelrdquo; brings Holmesrsquo;s attention to the baffling murder of a jewel thief in the middle of an underground railway . With Holmes and Watson encountering all manner of ungrateful relatives, phony psychologists, wronged wives, plaid-garbed villains, and even a peculiar species of deadly red leech, The Whole Art of Detection is a must-read for Sherlockians and any fan of historical with a modern sensibility.

Praise for The Whole Art of Detection:ldquo;One of the best examples of [Sherlock Holmes pastiche] that this die- hard Sherlockian has encountered . . . Faye perfectly captures the tone and spirit of the Conan Doyle originals.rdquo;?Adam Woog, Seattle Times“A great pastiche requires an uncanny ear for Watsonrsquo;s voice as well as a talent for a compelling story. Fortunately, Lyndsay Faye has plenty of both gifts, as she already proved in her near-perfect Dust and Shadow. For those who despair that Arthur Conan Doyle only gave us 60 stories of Holmes, rejoice! Here are 15 more treasures!rdquo;—Leslie S. Klinger, editor of The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes“The Whole Art of Detection is a great look at the Victorian world and the criminal goings on that gave us Sherlock. The of the late is awash with would be criminal masterminds who must be contained. Itrsquo;s a great look at the London of Holmes and the threats that emerge from an active criminal underground.rdquo;—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, author of “As full of wit as it is of twists, The Whole Art of Detection is a clever collection of deeply satisfying stories that capture the essence of Doylersquo;s work while marking an impressive addition to the Holmes canon.rdquo;—Graham Moore, author of The Sherlockian and The Last Days of Night“The Whole Art of Detection belongs on the top shelf with the very best of Doyle's Holmes stories. Author Faye has captured the language, locutions and inventiveness of the original tales as well or better than any author I can think of it. It is absolutely essential reading for any—and every—aficionado who cherishes the real thing.rdquo;—, author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution“A new Lyndsay Faye book is always noteworthy but for those Sherlockians among us who take our pastiches seriously, The Whole Art of Detection is a special cause for celebration. Fayersquo;s mastery of Watsonrsquo;s narrative voice and skilled plotting are, at this point, to be expected; as is her period research, which manages to be dazzling and unobtrusive at the same time. But itrsquo;s how she treats the Holmes/Watson relationship that is unique. The humor, the familiarity, the deep affection, the occasional arguments and hurt feelings—Lyndsay Faye is matchless at rendering the very human people at the center of the most famous partnership in fiction. Truly, The Whole Art of Detection is a textbook of friendship.rdquo;—Curtis Armstrongldquo;If Lyndsay Fayersquo;s byline werenrsquo;t on the cover, readers might deduce that the Sherlock Holmes mysteries in The Whole Art of Detection actually came from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Her 15 short stories expertly re-create the style and substance of the originals in every way.rdquo;?Star-Telegram (Fort Worth, TX)ldquo;Terrific . . . The feat that Lyndsay Faye has pulled off with The Whole Art of Detection is nothing short of amazing . . . It's not so much that shersquo;s paying tribute to Sherlock Holmes, but more like shersquo;s directly channeling the spirit of the late, great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.rdquo;?Bookreporterldquo;Edgar-finalist Faye . . . presents pitch-perfect Watsonian narration . . . [An] outstanding collection . . . All impressively add psychological depth to the friendship, plausibly exploring personal dynamics in the wake of traumas such as the loss of Watsonrsquo;s wife and Holmesrsquo;s apparent return from the dead, in a way that will resonate especially with fans of the BBCrsquo;s Sherlock.rdquo;?Publishers Weekly (starred review)ldquo;Fayersquo;s wonderful collection of pastiches is rooted in a little-understood fact about the Holmes canon: the stories are not about Holmes; theyrsquo;re about Watson observing Holmes . . . There are mysteries here and razzle-dazzle deductions . . . but the real attraction is the power of these 15 stories to make the originals glow even brighter. For Holmesians to read, then treasure.rdquo;?Booklist (starred review)ldquo;The impressively varied puzzles not only provide the detective the chance to display his famed powers of deduction, but increasingly humanize Holmes by putting him more and more on the side of the angels, giving him the chance to free women from perilous unions and save innocents from deception and fraud. Faye also restores Watson to Holmes' side and allows the relationship between the detective and his biographer to mature and mellow without altering either man's essential character. It's refreshing to see Holmes be Holmes. Fans and neophytes alike should cheer Faye's reinvigoration of Conan Doyle's hero and his panoramic world.rdquo;?Kirkus s (starred review)ldquo;Purely delightful for fans of the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson . . . These capers are as entertaining as the originals, but even more wonderful is the new depth Faye brings to the characters--and their complicated and exceptional friendship.rdquo;?Shelf Awarenessldquo;Fayersquo;s prose seduces readers with familiar cadence and beautiful imagery, all while briskly unraveling story after story with clever plots and colorful characters . . . The Conan-Doyle touch is in full bloom in The Whole Art of Detection. Faye has a true gift for style and a fun eye for story . . . Throughout, the writing shines. Fayersquo;s effortless prose mirrors Conan Doylersquo;s poetic sensibility and his flowing, elongated sentence style.rdquo;?New York Journal of Books“Sherlockians will be delighted, as will Fayersquo;s many fans.rdquo;mdash;Library Journalldquo;All [15 tales] have the distinctive style and creativity of Arthur Conan Doylersquo;s original stories. It is a book Sherlock Holmes devotees will want to savor with small samplings.rdquo;?Mystery Sceneldquo;Readers will delight in these beautifully told tales about the beloved duo of Holmes and Watson, and will surely find themselves returning to this collection again and again.rdquo;?Bookishldquo;A stunning collection . . . Faye expertly channels Watsonrsquo;s voice as official biographer of the famous detective, and this collection would not be out of place among the very best stories of Sherlock Holmes . . . Lyndsay Fayersquo;s wit blends charmingly with Conan Doylersquo;s style, bringing a new voice to the timeless tales of Sherlock Holmes . . . Absolutely a must read for anyone with an interest in Sherlock Holmes or mysteries set in Victorian London.rdquo;?Criminal Elementldquo;A thrilling collection for Sherlock fans . . . Faye easily captures the essence of Holmes and Watson, both in voice and style.rdquo;?BookPageldquo;Faye has a grasp of Watson and Holmesrsquo; partnership that few authors manage to bring to life on the page in quite the same way . . . An amazing collection.rdquo;?John H. Watson Societyldquo;When you combine a gifted storyteller and a penchant for authentic pastiches, you produce a book such as Fayersquo;s latest . . . Well worth reading.rdquo;?Canadian Holmesldquo;This short story collection . . . truly has all the wit and intrigue that you would expect from Holmes.rdquo;?Crime by the Book
