Every year brings another book about the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Now Quirk is unveiling The Crimes of Dr. Watson, the first completely interactive Sherlock Holmes mystery. This illustrated hardcover book, complete with Victorian-era illustrations, contains an original novel in the form of a letter from Dr. John H. Watson.

As the story opens, we discover that the legendary Sherlock Holmes has vanished—and to make matters worse, his friend Dr. Watson has been framed for a grisly and terrifying murder! From a damp cell in Coldbath Fields prison, Watson recounts the tragic events leading up to his arrest—and offers a number of clues that can be used to identify the true culprit. These include an article torn from a California newspaper, a mysterious manuscript page, a cryptic postcard, a telegram, an empty matchbook and much, much more. Watson is convinced that they may be messages of great importance, perhaps from Mr. Holmes himself.

Once you’ve finished reading Dr. Watson’s letter, it’s up to you to sift through the clues and solve the mystery. And when you think you’ve identified the culprit, you can slice open the final signature of the book (sealed at the printer’s) to read the remainder of the story. The game is afoot. Do you accept the challenge?

If you are coming into one of our stores, we suggest that you confirm that the book you want is in stock by emailing the location nearest you: Grant Park, Polo Park, Saskatoon, or by phoning the location nearest you.
