Description
The investigation is led by… Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!
“The literary father” of Sherlock Holmes decides to use the deductive method in investigating the most scandalous case of late-Victorian England—the mysterious murder of livestock on farms near Birmingham.
His goal is to prove that the accused, a provincial lawyer, George Edalji, is innocent.
Conan Doyle and his friend and assistant Wood go to Staffordshire.
So how effective are Sherlock Holmes’s methods in real life?
Julian Barnes’s new novel “Arthur & George” is an example of a book that is both enjoyable and useful. Enjoyable because Barnes has an easy and engaging writing style that can brighten up both a long flight and a sleepless night, as well as an unpretentious but nerve-tickling irony. Useful because “Arthur & George” is an educational book. It’s almost non-fiction: the reader learns not only about the mores of late-Victorian England, but also about real events in which Arthur Conan Doyle himself was involved.
