Nikki Stafford has fashioned excellent bricks from perfect clay.” — Guy Adams, author of The Sherlock Files“Stafford clearly is not only a devotee of Sherlock but is also very well-versed in Doyle’s original works … If you are a fan of Sherlock, you definitely will enjoy reading this book.” — The Crime Doc Is In“There’s really nothing here that a fan wouldn’t like.” — Logan Bruin’s Blog“This is written with an easy hand, taking quite a lot of fact and blending it in as though it’s an easy conversation between friends as you squee over a piece of fandom that’s important to you.” — Ventureadlaxare“If you’re a Sherlock fan, you’ll need this. If you have a friend who’s a Sherlock fan, buy them this. They’ll love it.” — Tessa’s Books and Tea Room“Investigating Sherlock is a lovely companion to the show and I enjoyed reading it immensely.
