The better half has just excitedly finished reading Anno Dracula by Kim Newman after my recommendation of it for as long as he has known me.
He is keen to move onto the next book The Bloody Red Baron but seeing as I've read each book four times I've opted to read Moriarty - The Hound Of The D'Urbervilles by the same author.
Like most of Mr Newman's work it's brilliantly researched and punchy reading.
It's segmented into separate adventures for the Professor chronicled by his caddish left hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran and mirroring in loving detail the tedious exploits of that boringly upright detective Holmes and his dull satellite Watson.
There is a nice framing device set in the 21st Century which suitably mirrors the framing device for The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes (1970).
With all the Sherlockmania going around at the moment it would be a giggle to see this go to television but I fear it would lose some of the delicious detail in translation.
