The Final Solution

The Final Solution: A Story of Detection by Michael Chabon
2004
Weight: 10.4 oz
Method of Disposal: Leaving in a lending library


A short story I read for a class in college led me to buy several of his books, including The Final Solution.  It is a pastiche of the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with a nod to the short story, “The Final Problem.” Sherlock Holmes is a retired detective who is interested in a case about a murdered man and a missing bird. He is clearly unsure of who he is apart from detection and what his purpose is until a bird shows up speaking in german, goes missing, and clues are littered throughout. It was fun to read, and I hope it was fun to write!
