Holmes Faces Giant Rats

Sherlock Holmes' Lost Adventure: The True Story of the Giant Rats of Sumatra by Lauren Steinhauer is a delightful addition to the world of Sherlock Holmes, skillfully capturing the essence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic characters. Steinhauer's passion for Holmes and Watson shines through, making this novel a treat for dedicated fans and newcomers alike. The plot, inspired by a hinted adventure in Doyle's The Sussex Vampire, takes readers on a thrilling journey with Holmes and Watson. The narrative unfolds seamlessly, starting with a seemingly mundane typewriter theft that escalates into a captivating mystery involving an evil genius and, of course, the titular giant rats of Sumatra. Steinhauer's imaginative extension of the original canon adds a new layer to the legacy of Holmes and Watson. The recognition received at the DIY Book Awards is well-deserved, as Steinhauer successfully breathes life into these beloved characters. He has also won as a finalist  in the Page Turner Awards for 2023 plus a  finalist for the book cover design.  The endorsement from Roger Johnson of The District Messenger adds further credibility to the author's achievement.

And, indeed, a screenplay is ready for the right producer.  The strength of Steinhauer's writing lies in his ability to maintain the spirit of Conan Doyle's work. The dialogue and imagery are skillfully crafted, transporting readers to the gaslit streets of Victorian-era London.
