Sherlock, Rachel

Rachel Sherlock lives up to her name as she does in fact share a flat with a friend called Watson, but she is based in Dublin and solves very few mysteries. She works in publishing, hosts a podcast called Risking Enchantment and writes as often as she can.

Rachel Sherlock on Mary Westmacott, Absent in the Spring

Even the most beloved authors are not necessarily remembered for the works they themselves considered their best. Famously, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his Sherlock Holmes stories begrudgingly, and was instead devoted to his historical fiction, in particular The White Company, a charming but somewhat mannered tale of knights in the Hundred Years’ War. Similarly, C. S. Lewis considered his little-known novel Till We Have Faces his best work. A retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth, it’s a dark and foreboding tale, a far cry from his Narnia stories or even his popular theology.
