    "Fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable"
    —Project Fandom

    "This is an excellent bridge between what most people know of Holmes and where he could potentially go"
    —Raging Biblioholism

    "Mann writes Holmes in a eloquent way, capturing the period of the piece perfectly, throwing Jeremy Brett fuelled childhood memories at me with every page and I must say that, if all non-Doyle Holmes adventures are this good, I will certainly read more... Those of you that love your Sherlock in any form, this is a must read.”
    —CultDen

    “Mann clearly knows his Holmes, knows what works and... the book is all the better for it.”
    —Crime Fiction Lover
