The draw-back is that this is a very short story, with only some 65 or so pages given over to the mystery itself. It gave me an hour's enjoyable reading and probably as long afterwards researching what had happened in 'real life'. Holmes and Watson come across well – and there's even a n Inspector Lestrade descendant in place at Scotland Yard. It's cleverly done, but I would love to have read it in a book of short stories, rather than trying to survive on its own.
Paul R Spiring, who edited this book, is an undisputed expert on the life of Bertram Fletcher Robinson and we can recommend [[Bertram Fletcher Robinson: A Footnote to The Hound of the Baskervilles by Brian W Pugh and Paul R Spiring|Bertram Fletcher Robinson: A Footnote to The Hound of the Baskervilles]] which he co-authored with Brian W Pugh, but for a real treat have a look at [[The World of Vanity Fair - Bertram Fletcher Robinson by Paul R Spiring (Editor)| The World of Vanity Fair - Bertram Fletcher Robinson by Paul R Spiring (Editor)]] , another book which Spiring edited.
