You can't have more fun than closing your eyes and imagining those spots in London where your favorite British sleuths engaged their talents against the crooks!!! This is part of a series which also covers other cities but London is my bailiwick for mystery so this hit the spot. There are guided mystery walking tours in London but it is more fun to follow the directions in this book and just soak up the atmosphere on your own. My next trip to London will be spent in these back streets, mews, and squares where Holmes and his brethren kept the city safe from the bad guys. What a fun read!!

outdated and boring... some parts were kind of interesting, but, for the most part it focuses on fictional places in a real city. thr first chapter- the city walk is really the only useful one.
