L'uomo che odiava Sherlock Holmes

The novel weaves real history with Holmes' universe in a way that feels seamless. I wonder if the author had a particular event or figure in mind that sparked this fusion.

The detailed deduction scenes are fascinating but also lengthy. I'm curious if others found it immersive or a bit slow.

Balancing respect for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation with fresh storytelling seems tricky. What do you think led to the success or challenges in that?
