LOVE the Sherlock Holmes books!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@christlover Your story sounds really cool! I would love to read a book like that. 🙂

Mine is something like “Groundhog Day/ Happy Death Day.

Basically there is a super hero who’s power makes it so that when he dies he will restart the day. The super hero, however, is not allowed to change anything that they do. They simply have to hope that the people around them will notice irregularities and realize what happened, thus changing…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 – Yes, the BBC show with Benedict is set in modern London. I was a bit skeptical at first, but they did an excellent job converting the Victorian era in the books to the present day (Watson and Holmes call each other by their first names, Watson blogs about Holmes’ cases instead of posting them on a newspaper, things like that.)

I personally love the Sherlock Holmes books. I have not seen any of the Sherlock Holmes movies or tv shows though.

I also really enjoy the “Father Brown” mysteries by G.K. Chesterton. I would definitely recommend them.

Oh gosh. I have read very few mysteries XD Like, literally the only mysteries I’ve read are Sherlock Holmes lol. Oh. Actually I take that back. Is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a mystery? Cause I’ve read that. And if any of Edgar Allen Poe’s works are mysteries, I’ve read them.

I shall do my best, though! Let’s see. Oh gee. I’m gonna have…[Read more]

@bigideaskc

I love the books! And the movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The ones with Arthur Wontner and Ian Fleming are ok too, but I like Basil best. And I’m not a fan of Reginald Owen as Sherlock. At all. I’m sorry, Owen… XD

Woah. RDJ plays Sherlock?? *is not sure about this* Not that I think he’d be bad as Sherlock… but I’m…[Read more]

My story is like Gotham (and many, many other Batman stories) meets The Naturals -but cleaner and not as creepy as those…although, it’s actually still kind of creepy and I’m working on trying to adjust that…

Does anyone else struggle to form villains that are realistic and wicked, but not so dark that you’ll give your readers nightmares? Any tips?

Ooh, nice! I really loved Jack Reacher. 😀

YESSS!!! Finally someone else who likes them. LOL! 😂

A good mystery is a good mystery, so where there’s one to be found I’m always there. 😉

I’ll admit, I haven’t read many of the books… I got sort of sidetracked with Sanderson. I like all the the Robert Downey Jr. movies however(though, slight content warning on those – nothing too crude if I remember correctly but some language), and I love the…[Read more]

@pensword Oh, awesome! Yeah, I’ve heard good things about the Basil Rathbone Holmes movies. 😀 I should check them out sometime!

Two is hard. I always say that my mystery WIP is most like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (NOT an endorsement), but a combination, hm. Probably the above with a dash of Jack Reacher.

I’ve read the entire series of books/short stories at least once. Some stories I’ve read multiple times. I’ve also enjoyed several of the old Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce movies, and I’m a fan of the show. I haven’t seen the RDJ movies though.

YESSS! Totally. 😀 I love the cases so much! I can’t wait to finish the series, even though that won’t be for a while, haha.

I can understand that. He’s nothing like the original character, but that’s what makes me like the movies. He’s so unique (the movies are HILARIOUS, LOL) and so different from Conan Doyle’s Sherlock that it makes the…[Read more]
