The Problem of the Missing Miss Book

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, had a sizeable ego, but even he would have been surprised to find his ace detective, as well as himself, cast as the star of other people's fictions. Doyle (already played by Peter O'Toole to perfection in the underrated 1997 film Fairy Tale) teams up with the Reverend Charles Dodgson (better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, the creator of another timeless character, Alice) in a polished, poignant first novel by Roberta Rogow. The lovely resort town of Brighton is the setting for this story of Doyle and Dodgson's search for the daughter of a crusading politician. Rogow manages to describe the dark details of Victorian child prostitution with total honesty while also being nostalgic and very funny. --Dick Adler Read More

    The Rev. Charles Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll) becomes a proto-Holmes to the Dr. Watson of young Arthur Conan Doyle. This suspenseful mystery treats the reader to a fascinating picture of the British seaside resort of Brighton & its history & daily rhythms c. 1885. Lord Marbury, a stalwart M.P., sends his young daughter Alicia to Brighton to spend her vacation with his old professor, the Rev. Charles Dodgson. But when Dodgson arrives at the train station to meet his charge, she is nowhere to be seen. It quickly becomes clear that Alicia has been kidnapped by her father's political enemies. A chance meeting with a young doctor visiting Brighton on his honeymoon, one Arthur Conan Doyle, leads the two to work together to find Alicia.
