Moriarty is a Sherlock Holmes novel written by author Anthony Horowitz and published in 2014. It is the follow-up, but not a sequel, to The House of Silk. Moriarty takes place in 1891 after the events of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Final Problem". Scotland Yard detectives with whom Holmes worked in previous cases, such as Athelney Jones and Lestrade, also appear in the novel. The novel follows Pinkerton Detective Agency operative Frederick Chase and Det. Insp. Athelney Jones as they try to prevent a new criminal mastermind from taking over the streets of London after Moriarty's demise.
I can't express how amazing this book was to read.
I can't review it without spoilers, except for maybe one thing — as a person who dabbles in mathematics, I am frustrated with myself that I didn't notice an amazing symmetry in one of the most important characters in this book.
If only I have "flipped the arrows", as category theorists say in their business, I would have figured it out. Alas, I gasped.
second try at Horowitz and found them both boring and slow
Interesting variation of the Holmes stories but still somewhat unsatisfying.
