E is for Elementary, My Dear

Sherlock Holmes seems to be rather popular recently – perhaps because his methodical, observant mind is a bit of an antidote to the forensic-technology-heavy procedurals we’re used to. In addition to the original creation, we’re seeing modern interpretations and works inspired by Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle might have been surprised at all of the ado over his enduring character, but then again, Sherlock always was a bit ahead of his time.

Pick up one of these to deduce a real interest in Sherlock:
