The web portal about the Great Detective: Sherlockian.​Net
edited by Chris Redmond

The much-hyped movie starring Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes (with Jude Law as Watson and Rachel McAdams as the love interest) is now on sale in the video stores. Here's the official web site, and Sherlockian.Net has a review by Rod Mollise. Also, read my Canadian Press interview about the film right after it opened in theatres in December.

A new edition of my Sherlock Holmes Handbook (cover, right) has been published by Dundurn Press, which published the original edition in 1993. Over these years, many Sherlockians have kindly told me that the Handbook has been one of their most essential reference books — and enjoyable reading too. But things do change, and it's more than time for a new edition, catching up on new films and books and the advent of the Internet, which (as you may have noticed since you're here) has spread Sherlock Holmes's fame and Sherlockian fun even farther worldwide. Here are the details.

The Death Cloud, the first book in a new "Young Sherlock Holmes" series for adolescents, was launched at London's English-Speaking Union in early April. The official publication date is June.

What do you usually find under a bed? What Canadian author created a Great Detective with "half a bucket of cocaine and a dipper" on the chair beside him? Who first gave Sherlock Holmes the line "Elementary, my dear Watson"? Such are the questions you'll find answered in the new edition of Quotations from Baker Street, edited by Chris Redmond (the proprietor of this web site) and now available.

New books on Sherlockian.Net: this site's book review pages now include reviews of In the Dead of Winter and other titles.
