"Fascinating." -- Boston Globe
"Entertaining." -- Globe and Mail "Impressive." -- Washington Post "For all who enjoy the company of Sherlock Holmes, in any of his many forms, reading Dundas's book will be hours well spent." -- Los Angeles Review of Books More than a century after Sherlock Holmes first capered into our world, Arthur Conan Doyle's peculiar creation continues to fascinate us, and in The Great Detective, journalist and lifelong Sherlock fan Zach Dundas sets out to learn why. Through sparkling new readings of the original stories, he unearths the inspirations behind Holmes and his indispensable companion, Dr. John Watson, and reveals how Conan Doyle's tales laid the groundwork for an infinitely remixable myth. This investigation leads Dundas on travels into the heart of the Holmesian universe, from a Fifth Avenue mansion and the boozy annual gathering of one of the world's most exclusive Sherlock fan societies; to a freezing Devon heath out of The Hound of the Baskervilles; to sunny Pasadena, where Dundas chats with the creators of the BBC's Sherlock and finagles a cameo appearance by Benedict Cumberbatch himself. Along the way, Dundas discovers and celebrates the ingredients that have made Holmes go viral -- then, now, and as long as the game's afoot. " A] sprightly, riveting exploration." -- Mental Floss "Incisive, well informed, and slyly witty (like Holmes himself)." -- Shelf Awareness, starred reviewBinding Type: Paperback

Daily devotional with ease.
Format: Imitation Leather
This is a great little devotional book for men. I bought two, one for me and one for my son. I keep mine at my desk at work and read it each morning and I enjoy the insightful quotes and verses that help me start my day. It truly only takes about a minute or two to read through everything and the verses are actually written out on the page with the reference. I know there are a lot of devotionals out there that you can select from, but I like this one because it’s small and compact and acutely directed towards men. The small size is perfect, the price is excellent, and the daily devotionals are spot on.

Easy and fun to read! Cute and small, easy to travel with
Format: Imitation Leather
I’m obsessed with this book. Each devotion really does only take a minute to read. It’s compact so I leave it in my truck but sometimes I’ll bring it in and keep it by my bed. There’s a book mark ribbon that keeps your place if you get off track of your days and you can’t remember where you left off. And I also like HOW the messages are explained. I grew up in church and I’m always like “hmm that makes sense now that it’s put that way!” lol

The Answer
Format: Imitation Leather
I purchased this book of Devotions as I was looking for a guide that would be simple to follow and compact. It seemed like I always was making excuses for not being as diligent with my faith. It was easy to tell my self that I could not keep up with God or travel with a guide as it was too inconvenient or bulky. From a content and simplicity to stay focussed, this was the source I needed. From a convenience standpoint, it could not be any better. I had tried apps and digital versions previously and it just wasn't the same. Holding a book and leafing through the pages just feels so much better to me. A definite must for those of you looking for a impactful, yet small and convenient way to continue the journey.
