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 his previous novel The House of Silk. [1]
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. [2] [3] 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. [4]
Laura Miller writing for The Guardian thought "Moriarty is a sound mystery novel, with traps, disguises and a good if not exactly unprecedented twist, but whether it scratches the Holmesian itch is another matter." [5] Holly Cuthbert of the Worcester News thought the novel a simplistic crime story that was inferior to Horowitz's previous novel The House of Silk, lacking the same depth. [6]
