When I found out he'd written a Sherlock Holmes novel I was estatic. Sherlock Holmes was one of the original mysteries that got me hooked on the genre. This was a brillant book that stayed true to the amazing characters created by Doyle a century ago. What a delight. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/345982?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
