Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes series) Anthony Horowitz

[personal profile] fleetsparrow 2021-08-08 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Title Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

Media Book!

Approx length: Uh... um... 320 pages! (thanks google!)

Where to find it: Anywhere books are sold! Seriously, it's everywhere. Check your local library or hit me up (I stg please just let me buy you a Kindle or Google Books copy or even a physical copy or SOMETHING, I NEED MORE PEOPLE IN THIS FANDOM)!

What is it, in summary? After Sherlock Holmes "dies" at *Insert name I'm too lazy to c/p here* Falls, and Moriarty with him, a Pinkerton agent named Frederick Chase arrives to see if the rumors are true and meets Scotland Yard Inspector Athelney Jones (who is from Holmes canon, in before anyone goes, "who???"; he's the one in The Sign of Four, believe it or not). They form a partnership to investigate a new American crime syndicate that's come to London and, well, shit goes south fast.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Frederick Chase IS Moriarty (but you kinda figure that if you're like me, an idiot, who reads chapters out of order).

What do you love about it? There's so much tension between the two, like they become basically IMMEDIATE "friends" and stuff and Chase/M basically spends the entire book talking about how good a friend Athelney is and his ~eyes~ and his goodness, like damn boy, just kiss him 'stead of talking him to death!

What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Not necessarily happy endings, but, well...

OK, basically I'm OK with Moriarty making Athelney's life a living (if sexy) hell. Basically, I want him to live, but I'm OK with suffering.

Also, this book is prime for Identity Porn, so yesgood.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests? I mean, I think I've written an entire primer once of what I like, and I can always share notes, but it's only the one book and it's a little hard to take chapters out of context once it comes.

Content warnings: More brutal violence than typical Holmes' affairs, and Major Character Death (*sobs*).
