Of all the sleuths in detective fiction, Sherlock Holmes  must be the most famous.

Steve Dimmer takes us through the evolution of the character from the pen of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and tried to answer why the detective has never gone out of fashion. 

We will trace his development from his first appearance in print, through to his untimely death, his miraculous resurrection and of course his most brilliant triumph in The Hound of the Baskervilles.   The talk is a must for all of Holmes’ many admirers.
