Episode 49: The Pastiche in Which Moriarty Is a Pirate — Interview with Claire Daines – Dynamics of a Podcast
We are back with an interview with Friend of the Pod Claire Daines, who has a new book out: Straight on Till Baker Street!
It never bodes well when an enemy knows more about your past than you care to remember. In a magical retelling of ‘The Final Problem’, Sherlock Holmes is about to bring Professor Moriarty to justice, when the murder of an old sailor triggers a flood of long-buried memories. Because all children grow up… even Peter Pan.
In this story, not only do we get a side to Moriarty we’ve never seen before, but also we get plenty of juicy Moran content, so we are very delighted to talk about it all. This does include a spoiler section, which starts 0:35:40 and ends at 1:02:05.
Mentions and amendments:
- The third “book,” or season, of Audible’s Moriarty series, featuring Ben Kingsley
- Here’s the audio drama Madeline couldn’t remember, with an Irish Moriarty: Sherlock Holmes: The Voice of Treason
- Sherlock Monthly!
- AMENDMENT: Madeline named Heather Holloway twice, and meant to name Heather Hinson the second time. Sorry! This is the problem of having two Heather Hs!
