Arthur and George
Julian Barnes

I can't decide whether or not I liked this book. Follows the lives of Arthur Conan Doyle (writer of Sherlock Holmes) and George Edalji around the turn of the 20th century. George is wrongly accused and imprisoned for a crime and Arthur is able to use his clout and Holmes-like ability to solve a mystery to clear his name. The book took a very slow turn in the end, but still an interesting read.

Three stars
