Reception

Michael Dirda, writing for The Washington Post, called the book "the best account of Baker Street mania ever written. Really."[5] Publishers Weekly called the book an "exhaustive study of the 130-year Sherlock Holmes phenomenon" and said "The informal, accessible style of Gallagher’s translation makes for an easy, if lengthy, read."[1] Kirkus Reviews called the book "A spirited account of how Sherlock became a household name."[6] Newsday called it "a book hard-core fans will eat up".[7]

The book was part of Tom Nolan's year-end "What to Give: Mysteries" for The Wall Street Journal in 2018.[8]
