bookishwordish's review against another edition
4.0
I don't agree with Thomson about Watsons second wife, and she is sometimes a little harsh towards Holmes. I tend to have sympathy for him, or at least more than Thomson does.
However the historical detail is excellent, the writing is highly readable, and the book doesn't suggest anything TOO bizarre. Considering how weird some theories about Holmes can be, this book sticks to the canon whenever possible.
