A fast-paced page turner - I really enjoyed this coda to the Sherlock Holmes series. Holmes and Watson were very well portrayed, and all of the threads of the mysteries were drawn together well at the end of the book.

It is worth noting, however, that all in all this was a serious, dark read, with not much redeeming lightness.
