King six years to find a publisher for her first book, but it was worth the wait. She won the Edgar in 1994 for Best First Novel with <i>A Grave Talent</i>, which launched her Kate Martinelli series, set in San Francisco. That same year, <i>The Bee-Keeper’s Apprentice</i> introduced the impressive, young Mary Russell, who would meet and eventually marry the retired Sherlock Holmes — “the least marriageable man I knew,” according to Mary, in 1921.</p><p>Since then, Russell and Holmes have traveled the world in eighteen novels, finding mystery and adventure everywhere from the English countryside to Palestine to California. Along the way, Mary’s partnership with Holmes has evolved, usually in plots that mix real events with suspenseful intrigue. </p><p>Now <i>Knave of Diamonds</i>, the nineteenth book in the series, brings Mary a case not even Sherlock Holmes could solve: the very real theft of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle years before. It comes with the sudden return of Mary’s unprincipled Uncle Jake, traveling on a cloud of fabrications and falsehoods.</p><p>Laurie R. King was named a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 2022. Join us for a conversation about the Irish Crown Jewels, Laurie’s approach to storytelling, Mary’s background and her conflicting loyalties, and much more.</p><p>So you can see what’s coming, we share the first half of August in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with <b>a signed copy of <i>Knave of Diamonds</i></b> for the winner.

This world-renowned collection, the work of one of the foremost Doylean scholars, is a treasure trove for researchers, enthusiasts, and the public. The Collection preserves books, manuscripts, artifacts, and ephemera that illuminate Conan Doyle's life, his beloved Sherlock Holmes, and the cultural impact of his work.</p><p>Laura Weston is the Education and Learning Officer for the Collection at the Portsmouth City Council, making the collection accessible and engaging to a global audience. Laura joins us to discuss the annual Worldwide Doyle conference, a series of virtual talks by writers, fans, and academics who are passionate about Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. The program is taking place in June and July; all events take place at 7:00 pm BST and are free of charge, and will be available online.</p><p>How does a city like Portsmouth turn a literary archive into a global attraction — and why does it matter? What behind-the-scenes choices shape the talks and exhibits that bring Sherlock Holmes to life for new audiences? Laura discusses all of this, including the unexpected item in the Collection that made even its curator stop and say, “I didn’t see that coming.”</p><p>So you can see what’s coming, we share the full calendar of July in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quinones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with something from the vaults for the winner.

These contemporaries of Sherlock Holmes inhabited the pages of the <i>Strand </i>and many other magazines of the day. Author Michael Cohen has stepped forward to catalog and categorize them from the years 1891 to 1914. This surprising array of characters includes those who were consciously not trying to be Sherlock Holmes, ranging from the occult to females, bumbling detectives, doctors and scientists, the criminal class and more.</p><p>In <i>The Golden Era of Sherlock Holmes and His Contemporaries</i>, Cohen gives us a handy and valuable resource; its subtitle indicates it is a Mystery Guide and Finding List. For readers interested in detectives in this golden era, this book is an essential companion to help identify and locate these sometimes famous, sometimes obscure detectives.</p><p>We also take a quick look at Sherlockian societies in "<b>The Learned Societies</b>" segment, Madeline Quiñones tells us about her absolute favorite Sherlock Holmes podcast in "<b>A Chance of Listening</b>," and the <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz tests your knowledge with a reward of a copy of <i>The Golden Era of Sherlock Holmes and His Contemporaries</i> for one lucky winner.  Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by March 14, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

And yet, every year without fail, Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple") oversees a team at <i>The Baker Street Almanac</i> that does exactly that.</p><p>We first spoke to Ross about the enterprise on <a href="https://ihose.co/ihose219" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 219</a>, but this time our conversation less about the mechanics and features than it is about some of the worthwhile items of note for Sherlockians in 2024. Ross chooses his top items and neatly divides things into categories: events, societies, publishing, and media. Burt and Scott add in a few points of interest as well.</p><p>We also have Madeline Quiñones' latest installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And wind up the year with another <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive something from the IHOSE vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by January 14, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST.
