Could do for a revision. Readings seem a bit outdated (book is from the 80s). A bit too Freudian for my liking as well. The chapter on homosexuality read like the author had never met a gay person is his life.
Les Klinger: A careful study of the entire Canon, with extensive reference to the Sherlockian literature and an excellent index including case references.
