A new Sherlock Holmes mystery, this had replicated the tone of Conan Doyle's work well. Fun to read something set in Holyrood which is not far from where I live. Will release soon.

Released 13 yrs ago (12/18/2010 UTC) at Always Sunday cafe, High St (Royal Mile) in Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom

Aww I wasn't going to pick up any more books whilst releasing at Always Sunday today. But look what happened!

The characterisation was good with Holmes and Watson, but I found the plot a bit silly - particularly the supernatural bits. So I enjoyed this, but it was no match for the real thing I'm afraid.

And is the afterward necessary? Why would I want to know how well Holmes would pair up with a fictional detective I've never heard of before? It came across as a blatant ploy for Caleb Carr to sell some more books.

Fast paced ''new'' Sherlock Holmes adventure set in Edinburgh. Loved the historical setting but the mystery itself was not quite up to the usual Sherlock Holmes standards. Nonetheless, a good enough book to have read.
