Fairly well-written take on Holmes

Four stories in the classic Holmes style

This book is a bit brief, but other than that has much to recommend it. The author seems to have a good feel for Holmes (at least as good as many other current pastiche authors).

Well worth the money.

A satisfying if unchallenging read for Holmes enthusiasts. |
