I'm very glad that you reminded me of the LEWIS series. I admit that I'd unfairly judged it as unworthy of my time. I have watched several episodes since your post, and have enjoyed the writing very much. The cast is great. I'd like to see a smile on Hathaway's face once in a while.
It is nice to see the trust and loyalty developing between our two lead characters. I'm anxious to see more.
Also, I presented my comments on A Study in Scarlet, to one of my bookclubs, last night. It was your mention of it that had me reading it. Because I was going to speak about it, I did some additional study. I found a great website that really delved into the possible explanation for ACD setting up his novel in the way he did, leaving London after Part one, and taking us to the American West with a story centered around the Mormons traveling to and settling in the future Utah. I can appreciate the story more, not that I understand his intent. And I learned too that he apologized for his mis-characterization of Mormons, based on his lack of first hand experience, at the time.
Will you take a look at VERA, too. I think its well written.
My next post will cover Ann Cleeves' Vera & Shetland.

I'm glad you revisited Lewis. But I'm not sure Doyle's apology was all that sincere. Did you ever read Mark Twain's journey through Mormon country in Roughing It? https://americanliterature.com/author/mark-twain/book/roughing-it/summary
