About this ebook
From award-winning author John Shirley comes an inventive whodunit featuring the master of mysteries, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
When Nicholas Fogg, an unsuccessful private investigator, dies on the job, he learns that the afterlife is not what he expected. Disappointed—but not too surprised—to find himself in the very dead town of Garden Rest, he befriends the famous Arthur Conan Doyle to crack a case from beyond the grave and solve the ultimate riddle: Is it possible to be murdered if you are already dead?

Reviews for Doyle After Death
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nicholas Fogg is dead and an unexpected afterlife. Most unexpectedly, he finds he is the assistant to Arthur Conan Doyle for a multiple murder investigation.Quirky and varied characters help fill and drive the mystery while explaining the unusual world and atmosphere. This afterlife or afterworld is filled with similar yet altered plants, animals, and people. The narrative and plot are full of lush and vivid descriptions, humor, and a hint of romance.Overall, a entertaining read!
