The Inspiration for Nessie’s Nemesis!
There are two weeks left on the Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter, so if you’re interested, please take a look!
If you’re wondering why the sequel to Sherlock’s Secretary is set at Loch Ness, it’s because, as with the first novel, I wanted the plot to be inspired by true events connected to Sherlock Holmes. The previous book was drawn from the real-life bank at 221B Baker Street and the BBC’s Great Erasure. Nessie’s Nemesis refers to the making of Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, which involved a gigantic Loch Ness Monster prop. I teased this plotline in the final chapter of Sherlock’s Secretary. I knew I wanted the closing to foreshadow the next book, but I couldn’t find anything suitable… until I watched this YouTube video from Yesterworld Entertainment.
