The Investigating Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes Colloquium and donation of the third largest private collection of Sherlockiana in the world were supposed to produce a weekend of great publicity for tiny St. Benignus college in Erin, Ohio. But when theft and murder come to campus, college public relations director Jeff Cody finds himself knee-deep in Sherlockian suspects, besieged by an aggressive reporter he loves but no longer dates, and competing with his eccentric brother-in-law, Sebastian McCabe, to solve the crimes first. The mess worsens when Jeff and his ex-girlfriend, Lynda Teal, themselves fall under suspicion of murder - and with good reason, for they have something to hide. This satirical romp takes Sherlock Holmes seriously, but not Holmesians. A witty and engaging spoof sure to delight not only the deerstalker set but mystery fans in general.

This is an amazing reading experience and a great book, both for Sherlockians and for people that never read a Sherlock Holmes book (although they should have, to understand completely this mistery novel). Following the also highly recommended "Baker Street Beat", Dan Andriacco has written a book that got my full attention from the very first page. It's a dream come true. Extremely well written, i was both intrigued by the developments of this adventure and also by the several Sherlockian references that the writter introduced in this novel. In a time of so many Sherlock Holmes pastiches, reference books, related books, "No Police Like Holmes" surely stands out and it's, for me, the best book of the year. Reading this book made me want to be one of its characters and experience the weekend related in the book...it's great, it's fun, it's intense and it really makes a difference. Well done!

"No Police Like Holmes" is an exciting and witty romp - not about Holmes but about his fans. The world's third-largest private collection of Sherlockiana has been donated to St Benignus, a small college in a small town in Ohio, and to celebrate, the college is hosting the Investigating Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes Colloquium. Jeff Cody, the college's PR director (and part-time crime writer), is an amused observer until the event is blighted by a real theft and a real murder, and he realises that there's rather a lot of suspects in deerstalkers. As if things weren't bad enough, Cody and his ex-girlfriend also become suspects... I like it!
