Book Club Case File: The House of Silk

Welcome to Book Club Case Files on the However Improbable Podcast! We're taking a look at our very first case file on a Sherlock Holmes pastiche—stories that are about Sherlock Holmes and often in Arthur Conan Doyle’s style, but not written by him. And we’re starting with a special one: The House of Silk by renowned mystery novelist Anthony Horowitz, the only pastiche to have the stamp of approval by the Conan Doyle Estate. This book is full of thrilling moments, clever cameos, unique frameworks and dark mysteries. This is NOT a spoiler-free discussion! Content warning: The House of Silk spans the pretty gruesome murder of a child, kidnapping, pedophilia, and childhood sexual assault. We discuss those plot points in our conversation.  A transcript of this episode is available here: https://www.howeverimprobablepodcast.com/transcripts Find recommended reading, more stories, info about the show and more on our website: https://www.howeverimprobablepodcast.com https://twitter.com/improbablepod Our BookShop page is: https://bookshop.org/shop/howeverimprobable

Om Podcasten

However Improbable is a podcast book club about Sherlock Holmes, by and for the people who love him. Every other week, detective lit enthusiasts Marisa and Sarah present a fresh new recording of Holmes and Watson’s adventures, and then delve into the story, its history and politics, adaptations, and why we’re still so captivated by the detective and his good doctor. Holmes himself famously said that there’s nothing new under the sun—but we’re willing to give him a run for his money. howeverimprobablepodcast.com/ https://twitter.com/improbablepod
