«Élémentaire, ma chère Sarah !» is the mystery and humour novel by Jô Soares, published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback (321 pages, in French).
In 1886, Sherlock Holmes and Watson travel to Rio de Janeiro to help the actress Sarah Bernhardt, from whom a valuable Stradivarius has been stolen. The investigation is complicated by murders of women, Brazilian cooking and atmosphere, and Holmes himself loses his deductive faculties; the novel blends detective parody, humour and a colourful recreation of nineteenth-century Brazil.
Published in 1997 by Calmann-Lévy. The original title is «O xangô de Baker Street».
For readers seeking a detective parody with Sherlock Holmes outside his usual setting and Brazilian humour.
José Eugênio Soares, known professionally as Jô Soares, or Jô, was a Brazilian comedian, talk show host, author, musician, actor and writer.
