Lestrade and the Mirror of Murder

Rating:
Summary: England's Second Greatest Detective?
Review: Fans of the Sherlock Holmes stories will know Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard. Conan Doyle never gave him much to do except take the credit when Holmes solved the case but now he's finally getting his due. This book is apparently the latest in a lengthy series but the first I've seen. I will definitely seek out the others. In addition to being a fair and twisty mystery it is also a very funny comedy, reminiscent of Monty Python or Terry Pratchett. There are even a few irrereverent references to the Great Detective and his creator. All in all a good read even if you're not a Holmes fan.
