"Dr. Sherlock Holmes v Čechách a jiné případy" by Rudolf Čechura

4 stars out of 5

A humorous book that doesn't take itself seriously - very "tongue in the cheek", you could say. Holmes and Watson are old, old men in it, living in Sussex and solving the most peculiar crimes, involving bees and spiders and midgets and whatnot. The style is pretty light and amusing, the plots easily solved and slightly nuts - but the closeness between Holmes and Watson is never forgotten, always deep and felt, their gentle ribbing and the way they genuinely enjoy each other's company. Wonderful book!
