Sherlock Holmes is feeling like an analogue detective in a digital world in The New Adventures of Old Sherlock, a brand-new series. Lucien Young, author of Alice in Brexitland, has revived the great detective, putting Victorian values on a collision course with modern mores. The worlds richest and most obnoxious Tech Bro (freshly decamped to the English countryside) has invited Sherlock Holmes to visit … and vanished before Holmes gets there! Dr Watson is alarmed that Sherlock Holmes is growing forgetful, and he can hardly remember why he came into a room and keeps misplacing things. Is he finally losing his memory, or is all a ruse to engage a villain who may or may not be a piece of malevolent AI? And while were talking about things being de-crypted, could Holmess supposedly deceased adversary Moriarty be behind it all? Only Sherlock Holmes can save the day – and of course Watson, if he can recall where he wrote down his damned list of passwords! This is a clever as parody gets. How Bruno Vincent has managed to maintain a Holmesian atmosphere with a machine gun gag rate is a mystery in itself. Wonderful stuff, Ian Moore, bestselling author of Death and Croissants.
