Michael Chabon, The Final Solution *** 1/2

A palette cleanser following two long books. The Final Solution is a novella, a long short story really, about an 89-year-old Sherlock Holmes tracking down a stolen parrot and incidentally solving a murder.

The story is unabashedly typical of the genre and is nothing to write home about. However, Chabon's prose makes it a fun and worthwhile read. You can swallow the whole thing in the course of an afternoon.
