About book Oscar Wilde Et Les Crimes Du Vatican (2012)

I suppose problem number one is that this is book 5. I haven't had 4 books to build up an appreciation for the character Wilde. At any rate, I've made it half way through but am giving up. I don't like Wilde, I don't like Doyle, I'm not at all interested in what happened, I find the writing pedantic, and frankly either the writing is full of innuendos or I'm being overly sensitive about nothing. In either case I find no reason to continue. A fun, entertaining and witty mystery narrated in the voice of Arthur Conan Doyle and solved by Oscar Wilde – two of my favorite authors. Gyles Brandreth is fairly convincing in his Doyle-Wilde dialogue and part of the enjoyment in the storyline is the Wilde-isms and the personalities. This is the fifth in the series of six that Brandreth has written but it can definitely be read as a standalone – this is my first book and I will definitely pick up another. The book begins with Arthur Conan Doyle receiving three packages in the mail, all addressed to Sherlock Holmes. The packages – postmarked Rome – contain a lock of hair, a severed hand and a severed finger. It’s obvious, someone needs help – Sherlock Holmes’ help – in solving a murder mystery and Doyle and Wilde certainly oblige as they head to Rome post haste. Fast-paced and a quick read, the book is a great one to read while parallel reading any intense, tough topic book - it provides a light comic relief that’s enjoyable.
