Pressezitat
“[Faye’s] 15 short stories expertly re-create the style and substance of the originals in every way. These “lost” Holmes and Watson adventures are clever and exciting. And while the tales are altogether new, they also feel immediately familiar.” —David Martindale, Fort Worth Star-Telegram“Pitch-perfect Watsonian narration . . . [An] outstanding collection . . . All impressively add psychological depth to the friendship, plausibly exploring personal dynamics in the wake of traumas such as the loss of Watson’s wife and Holmes’s apparent return from the dead, in a way that will resonate especially with fans of the BBC’s Sherlock.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Faye’s wonderful collection of pastiches is rooted in a little-understood fact about the Holmes canon: the stories are not about Holmes; they’re about Watson observing Holmes . . . There are mysteries here and razzle-dazzle deductions . . . but the real attraction is the power of these 15 stories to make the originals glow even brighter. For Holmesians to read, then treasure.” —Don Crinklaw, Booklist (starred review)
“The impressively varied puzzles not only provide the detective the chance to display his famed powers of deduction, but increasingly humanize Holmes by putting him more and more on the side of the angels . . . Faye also restores Watson to Holmes’ side and allows the relationship between the detective and his biographer to mature and mellow without altering either man’s essential character. It’s refreshing to see Holmes be Holmes. Fans and neophytes alike should cheer Faye’s reinvigoration of Conan Doyle’s hero and his panoramic world.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“All [15 tales] have the distinctive style and

creativity of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories. It is a book Sherlock Holmes devotees will want to savor with small samplings.” —Ben Boulden, Mystery Scene
“Terrific . . . The feat that Lyndsay Faye has pulled off with The Whole Art of Detection is nothing short of amazing. The stories flow nicely into each other, and all leave you wanting more. It’s not so much that she’s paying tribute to Sherlock Holmes, but more like she’s directly channeling the spirit of the late, great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.” —Ray Palen, Bookreporter
“A thrilling collection for Sherlock fans . . . Readers will feel as if they are in the cozy confines of 221B Baker Street right alongside this often feuding and sometimes teasing pair of old friends or, better yet, sitting beside them in a bouncing carriage as they race to rescue a would-be victim from an otherwise heinous end.” —G. Robert Frazier, BookPage
“The mysteries are satisfying . . . A fun read.” —Historical Novel Society
“Sherlockians will be delighted, as will Faye’s many fans. A nice companion to The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories, edited by Otto Penzler.” —Library Journal
“Faye’s prose seduces readers with familiar cadence and beautiful imagery, all while briskly unraveling story after story with clever plots and colorful characters . . . The Conan-Doyle touch is in full bloom . . . Faye’s effortless prose mirrors Conan Doyle’s poetic sensibility and his flowing, elongated sentence style.” —Mark Stevens, New York Journal of Books
