A well-imagined suspenseful tale of Sherlock Holmes matching wits with a creative adversary. The story twists and turns with an inventive plot leading to a thrilling conclusion. The author's imagery pulls the reader into the story and the narrative is as significant a dimension of this book as is the mystery.

From all the other reviews, I expected this book to be a little better. While I realize the daunting task of writing a story with a classic character a little more research into Holmes would have really made this a much better story.
What I liked about the book:
The plot, I thought it was interesting enough to keep me reading it and not grow bored.
some of the dialogue was clever, I smiled at some of it
The author designed the cover
What I didn't like:
setting part of the story in Dartmoor, on the Grimpen Mire. For me only one Holmes story could ever take place there and I almost quit the book when I read that.
the accents. Ok, we know MacDonald is Scottish. We were also told Garth was Swedish. that is enough info for the reader to understand they have accents. The author did a terrible job of trying to transfer the accents to paper. I like the character of MacDonald but was really annoyed with the way the author tried to convey his accent.
Finally Holmes himself. There were several places in the story where Holmes steps completely out of character and I found this really jarring when it occurred. Perhaps it was an endeavor to make Holmes more compassionate, but it just didn't work for me.
I think this book could have been so much better than it was. But I give the author credit for taking on what must be daunting task of writing another Sherlock Holmes story.

Good pastiche, although for the length of this softcover, it is definitely over priced. Enjoyable and worth the read. Just a bit dear.

this is an excellent book. it is well written and almost catches sherlock holmes the way mr. doyle did. i would recommend this book to anybody that as read sherlock holmes or even to those that would like to take the very first step into the world of sherlock holmes and dr. watson
Rated by buyers -
This is a typical Sherlock Holmes story line, but it is very easy to read, and suspenseful to the end.
