A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin on Amazon, or check with your local library for a copy.
Directed by Bill Condon and based on Mitch Cullin's novel "A Slight Trick of the Mind," this film shows an older, more vulnerable Sherlock Holmes.
Set in 1947, Ian McKellen plays a 93-year-old Holmes living in Sussex. With his memory fading, he tries to remember his final case while befriending his housekeeper's young son, Roger.
The film explores aging, regret, and emotion through flashbacks as Holmes struggles to separate fact from fiction in his failing memory.
