Detective Murdoch

“Detective Murdoch” is a series of detective novels by Maureen Jennings that reimagine the adventures of Sherlock Holmes’s faithful companion, Jim Moriarty, as a standalone detective. The books offer a darker, more realistic take on the classic detective genre, exploring the gritty streets of Victorian London with a measured, atmospheric tone. What sets the series apart is its focus on Moriarty's intelligence and cunning as a detective in his own right, rather than solely as Holmes’s adversary.
