Sherlock Holmes and the Professor Watson are real human being in an alternate universe. Arthur Conan Doyle is helping them resolve mysteries in their world. The tricky part is to not reveal too much things about their life in his books.

The thing is that Sherlock is not so much a brilliant detective, that's still true but he so much more than that, like a commissioned killer for the queen. The public from our world can't know that about their favorite hero. As for Watson, he's not so much a physician but more a brilliant scientist who made possible space travel between our world with a few tweak here and there with the help of H. G. Wells.

Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein and some other scientists could make an appearance but shh I don't want to spoil it for you :)

A little bit of exageration but well it does not detract from the fun.

Great steampunk ! ( )

C'est un 3,5 étoiles, en fait, mais l'option n'existe pas. J'ai adoré ce que l'auteur a fait de Sherlock. Foisonnant, déjanté, certaines scènes sont épiques. Bref, j'ai aimé, même si j'ai eu du mal à accrocher à la seconde partie. ( )

Parce que Madame Smith, sa gouvernante, avait pris un congés exceptionnel pour rendre visite à un neveu à Salisbury, que Touie était au lit avec un ventre rendu capricieux par sa toute récente grossesse et que l'atmosphère calme de la maison, bien que propice au travail, était devenue rapidement trop pesante, Arthur quitta le refuge de son cabinet médical tôt dans l'après-midi, après avoir embrassé sa femme et lui avoir administré un placébo contre les nausées — craignant qu'un traitement plus puissant ne nuise à l'enfant qu'elle portait.
