Reviews

[PAUL DEWSON · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not one of the better Lestrade stories. A bit muddled, with parts that you could not see why they were included. Also a lot lighter on the blend of historical fact and fiction that is one of the more enjoyable aspects of these novels. It's only saving grace is that it lacks a lot of the schoolboy humour of the other books.

By no means my favourite Lestrade book, but enjoyed the humour. Eg. He's a vegetarian. Do you believe in star signs?
