It's a pity then that a lot of the time we can see the instances of Holmes' brilliance too easily - we learn too readily to tell when he's inviting a character to say something incriminating, for example; also we can spot the mole a mile off, as well as a couple of contrivances. Clearly, Ms Bugge is not on a par with the genius of Holmes' original creator, but that's not to say she hasn't absorbed enough of his brilliance, and has added that to a mostly well-fashioned little saga. It's not the best revisiting of this world, but is still recommended to those who seek new Holmes to visit.
I must again thank Titan for our review copy. We also have a review of [[The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Seance for a Vampire by Fred Saberhagen]].
The most forensic look at Holmes' real-life world we know of is [[Close to Holmes: A Look at the Connections Between Historical London, Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by Alistair Duncan]].
