This is a great Historical Fiction novel. Although it is a work of fiction it is steeped in real historical knowledge. It follows the search for the missing diary of Dr. Doyle, by Harold White after the death of a prominent member of the secret society, The Sherlockian, who claims to have found the diary. The only real issue I have with the book is it is a little bit hard to follow. The novel has alternating chapters between two settings: the first in the present and the second in the 1890s-1900s. The point of view switches every chapter from the present to the actual missing diary entries of Dr. Doyle. The plot weaves an intricate web that keeps the reader hanging on until the very end.
