This book was enjoyed by some and found to be difficult to get into by others. It has two very separate parts - the first sets the scene and the second and enjoyable and fast paced tragic love story which links into the Watson/Holmes story. As the beginning of a genre it was very interesting, you can see the emerging CSI from Holmes's obsession with detail. As characters they were much more interesting than their TV/movie incarnations. Words used to describe the book were - gripping second half, ripping yarn, clipped, absorbing, disjointed. It scored between 3 - 9.
A book that Amanda recommends for good summer reading is City of Dark Hearts by James Conan.
