LOOKING FOR THAT GOOD MYSTERY AGAIN

Started a new book, "Sherlock Homes; The Unauthorized Biography" by Nick Rennison. because I never have read any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective series, I thought this might be a good place to start. Engaging, the character of Sherlock Holmes is examined through historical documents. I especially like the historial inspection of the Victorian age of Holmes, the England of my fantasy world, the England of my forebears. Three of my grandparents lived in England in 1895, not knowing at the time they were to emigrate to America and leave their English world behind. The superpower that England was was shattering, and so went their dreams. Was it family struggles, financial worries or just sheer adventure that brought them out of the bustling England and into New York City? Finding connections to other emigrants they blended their families with others from England, but they also left brothers and sisters in England and I grew up learning about cousins across the seas. Apparently most of the relatives did not emigrate...I have relatives I don't even know about. But, this book gives me a glimpse into the Victorian age of my grandparents. And it is a fascinating portrait.
