迈克罗夫特·福尔摩斯是夏洛克·福尔摩斯的哥哥，比他年长、更聪明。

 

但我来这里不是为了讨论这个角色，而是为了推荐关于他的系列小说。

    The series is about Mycroft as a young man (before he got fat and decided to move as little as possible).

    It's also about Sherlock as a younger man, still in in school and a bit of a jerk.

    I'm on the second book in the series and enjoying it, but I'm finding that it's a bit too much like a Sherlock Holmes story. Except that it's Mycroft going around and making deductions with his buddy Douglas, instead of Sherlock and Watson.

    One thing that stands out: The series is written by basketball great Kareem Abdul Jabbar! (And Anna Waterhouse)

      According to the original books by Conan Doyle: He's the older, smarter, fatter brother of Sherlock. While not working, he likes to hang out at the Diogenes Club, which is a club for men who don't like people's company. He practically runs the government. 

There. Now you're to to speed. ;)

Personally, I wish people left Mycroft Holmes to the imagination. He has such a mysterious ability giving his character the charm. The book ruined the character with the un-Doyle storytelling.

      Ha! I've had similar misgivings, but I'm still enjoying it.

Have you, by any chance read the Sherlock Holmes books by Sam Siciliano? Very un-Doyle representation of Holmes. (But very enjoyable.)

      I can imagine the enjoyability as I enjoyed other versions of Holmes, such as the TV series "Elementary" and "Sherlock" (2010) or even the blasphemously Hollywood-style films. It is just  Mycroft Holmes I wished to see him in mystery.
 
Sam Siciliano's Sherlock Holmes has been on my reading list, at the bottom, though. Now it's moved up, thanks to your comment!

      I found the Siciliano novels very off-putting at first but they grew on me and I got to really enjoying them.

I don't want to provide any spoilers here as to why I felt this way, but I have a feeling that you'll figure it out very quickly.

      Btw, it probably doesn't need to be said (but I'll say it anyway), be sure to read them in order.

      Yes. There are three of them.

      He's a great character, and as another poster mentioned, is a bit of a mystery in the original stories.
