Books by Ira J Fistell

What readers have said about The Hidden Holmes:"I congratulate you on finding a niche in Sherlockian scholarship. It''s hard to find/write something that hasn''t been done before. You did that and did it very well.""This book is extremely readable, entertaining, and filled with smart, perceptive comments. It reads like a conversation.""What sets The Hidden Holmes apart is how it works its way through the sixty tales, one story at a time. This gives you ample room to find insights.""I liked your point that the stories have deeper social meanings.""Among your insights, I thought your account of Dr. Doyle''s extensive use of aptonyms was particularly compelling. To my knowledge, though others have noted individual examples, I can''t think of anyone who has gone into such depth.""Would I buy and recommend your book? Certainly!"
