Lets not forget that this is as much a self-reflection as anything, and in fact you could argue the book is semi-autobiographical. As Dan says on the book's back cover, "This satirical romp takes Sherlock Holmes seriously, but not Holmesians".

Especially as it's his first stab at a full length novel, Dan has had some help from leading Holmesians on going through the book, and the way he paints the obsessive Holmes fans has been described as "spot on". The 'hero' of the story, Jeff Cody, is faced with several Sherlockians as murder suspects and competes with his brother-in-law Sebastian to solve the mystery. You will certainly recognise several of the characters and may even see a bit (or a lot) of yourself in one of them. Set in a small town in America that is hosting a major Sherlockian event, Dan captures the essence of Holmes mania and weaves into a murder mystery an extremely funny look at Sherlockians.

What will be interesting is to see the reaction of his growing Holmesian fan base when they read this, his debut novel, and realise that the target of both the murderer, and Dan's sharp wit, is Holmes fans themselves. Dan refers to both as 'various Sherlockian scribblings and ramblings' and the book's mix of pastiches, radio plays, articles and stories written in the style of a highly articulate fan, is the only book we have that only has 5 star reviews on Amazon, eleven of them at time of writing.
