Un samba per Sherlock Holmes

The book seamlessly mixes comedy with suspense, which kept me engaged but also made me wonder how the tone was managed so effectively. Was this a conscious choice throughout writing?

The cultural references and setting added such richness, but I’m curious whether this was based on personal experience or extensive research. How authentic does it feel to someone familiar with Brazil?

The mash-up of Sherlock Holmes with Brazilian culture is so unique. I wonder what sparked the idea to blend these worlds and how the author decided on this particular setting.
