The Great Detective: The Amazing Rise and Immortal Life of Sherlock Holmes is a non-fiction book by Zach Dundas about Sherlock Holmes.

Contents

The book begins with the author's personal visit to the Sherlock Holmes Museum [1] and then progresses chronologically [2] through an exploration of Sherlock Holmes fandom, Sherlockian Societies such as The Baker Street Irregulars, and the Sherlockian game [3]

Reception

Julia Knaus, writing for Transformative Works and Cultures , called the work "a fascinating read". [4] Clea Simon of The Boston Globe appreciated the scholarship but found Dundas' use of personal memoir as framing device to be "the least interesting thread". [3] Kirkus Reviews called it "A bright read for Sherlock's fans". [5] Leslie S. Klinger, writing for the Los Angeles Review of Books , found Dundas' account of Holmesian history "skillful" and said the book "feels like a long conversation with a new friend". [6]
