Holmes would have struggled with modern British politics. By the time he’d deduced who the Prime Minister was, there’d have been another one. #SherlockHolmes

“Do you fancy England’s chances, Holmes?” “I fancy nothing, Watson. I observe everything.” “That wasn’t the question.” #SherlockHolmes

Holmes: “Remarkable. So many gentlemen attempting to be me.” Watson: “Did any succeed?” Holmes: “That remains under investigation.” #SherlockHolmes

For Independence Day why Doyle fell for America #SherlockHolmes open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

#SherlockHolmes view on Wimbledon being broadcast in UHD: "I just want to sit down with a cuppa and watch the tennis without the grass looking like a swamp."

Holmes would have made a dreadful football pundit. “I refuse to predict the outcome, Watson. One should never theorise before the final whistle.”

After three hours attempting to set up my new Mini PC, I have reached a conclusion. “It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has the drivers.” Watson has wisely retreated to the nearest public house. #SherlockHolmes

Holmes would have approved of Wimbledon. Not the tennis. The silence while everyone was concentrating. #SherlockHolmes

Holmes would have admired Amazon’s efficiency. He’d have been less impressed by the number of cardboard boxes Watson kept leaving in the hallway. #SherlockHolmes

Holmes and London two great characters open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

The greatest unsolved mystery in a Victorian heatwave: How did Sherlock Holmes keep that deerstalker, heavy coat, and Victorian dignity intact? #SherlockHolmes

A Victorian London heatwave would have presented Sherlock Holmes with a rare challenge: solving a mystery while refusing to admit that even a great detective can be too hot. #SherlockHolmes

Sherlock Holmes with a smartphone would be terrifying. Sherlock Holmes observing how you use your smartphone would be even more terrifying. #SherlockHolmes

The other side of #SherlockHolmes open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

One suspects Sherlock Holmes had a complicated relationship with the weather. Rain concealed footsteps, fog hid villains, and storms provided excellent dramatic timing. Sunshine, perhaps, was less useful to a detective. #SherlockHolmes

Four Sherlock Holmes campaigns on Kicktarter - one finishing today! www.kickstarter.com/discover/adv...

One of the things I enjoy about the Sherlock Holmes stories is how often crucial information arrives by telegram. Before emails, texts, and smartphones, a few urgent words tapped out over a wire could change the course of an investigation in an instant. #SherlockHolmes

The Victorian internet open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Moriarty endures because he’s barely on the page. Conan Doyle gave us just enough to imagine a criminal genius lurking behind London’s respectable facade and our imaginations have been filling in the gaps ever since. #SherlockHolmes

Why 221B works so well in literature open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

One of the pleasures of writing Sherlock Holmes is revisiting the original stories and being reminded how much atmosphere Conan Doyle could create in just a few pages. Which Holmes adventure do you find yourself returning to most often? #SherlockHolmes

A Sherlock Holmes question for a summer evening: Which Holmes story would you choose to read while sitting in a garden with a cup of tea? For me, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle remains hard to beat, whatever the season. #SherlockHolmes

What do you think became of Sebastian Moran? #SherlockHolmes open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Surely even Sherlock Holmes occasionally approved of a quiet summer evening in Baker Street — windows open, London settling into dusk, and no clients arriving with mysterious telegrams for at least a few hours. #SherlockHolmes

Delighted that MX Publishing and I have now agreed the cover design for Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate. Publication is set for late November 2026 — looking forward to sharing this new Holmes adventure with readers. #SherlockHolmes

Why was Holmes obsessed with disguises? open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Finally finished the Lego Sherlock Holmes Book Nook I got for my birthday

British actor David Burke, known for playing Dr. John Watson in the 1980s series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, has died at 91. The actor died on May 10 and is survived by his actress wife, Anna Calder-Marshall, and son, Tom Burke, who stars in the hit Netflix series Legends.

One of the pleasures of Sherlock Holmes is that every reader seems to picture Baker Street differently. When you read the stories, which Holmes do you see? Rathbone? Brett? Cumberbatch? Someone else entirely? #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian

What if Sherlock Holmes’ notorious enemy wasn’t a criminal mastermind - but his own creator?https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mx-publishing/sherlock-holmes-and-the-man-who-believed-in-fairies

One of the most compelling things about writing Holmes past the canon is placing him against real historical tensions. In Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate, Holmes faces not just crime, but ideology. A fascist Black Shirt conspiracy lurking beneath respectable society. #SherlockHolmes

“On the Moor, Sherlock Holmes records his many effective disguises and trips to local drinking holes where he knocks back tankards of Devonshire cider…” mybook.to/FootstepsMoor
