Sherlock Holmes Pastiches Sherlock Holmes Books

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective who made his first published appearance in 1887. He was invented by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is famous for his ability to use logic and astute observation to solve cases, becoming the World's First Consulting Detective. He is the most famous of fictional detectives, and indeed one of the best known and universally recognised literary characters.

Pastiche is a form of imitation. In literary terms, pastiche denotes the technique of employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; it is usually respectful as opposed to parody, which can be very critical.

A Toby Peters novel. Kaminsky has written a series of Toby Peters mysteries about private detective Peters whose cases involve Hollywood stars of the late1930's and 1940's. Book is included here because Basil Rathbone is Peters' client and Rathbone does some Sherlock Holmes-like deductions. Good stuff. I recommend all of Kaminsky's work.
