Book Club Case File: The House of Silk
Episode description
Welcome to Book Club Case Files on the However Improbable Podcast! We're taking a look at our very first case file on a Sherlock Holmes pastiche—stories that are about Sherlock Holmes and often in Arthur Conan Doyle’s style, but not written by him. And we’re starting with a special one: The House of Silk by renowned mystery novelist Anthony Horowitz, the only pastiche to have the stamp of approval by the Conan Doyle Estate. This book is full of thrilling moments, clever cameos, unique frameworks and dark mysteries. This is NOT a spoiler-free discussion!
Content warning: The House of Silk spans the pretty gruesome murder of a child, kidnapping, pedophilia, and childhood sexual assault. We discuss those plot points in our conversation.
