Just as enjoyable reading the second time around! I read this book when it first came out when I was young and it still does not disssapoint, even when I am far past the target age audience for the series.

The ending wrapped up quite quickly (I believe within one chapter) so felt slightly rushed but still a great read. Can’t wait to move onto the next one (and hopefully at some point in the near future do a considerable amount of research on the necropolis which piqued my interests, or more realistically my somewhat morbid fascinations on the travel of the dead of the Victorian era)

Well the end happened a little to fast for my tastes. But overall very enjoyable.

In a locked room the man with the key is king... Or maybe the murderer!
In the third instalment of Young Sherlock Holmes, we see him start to put into practice all the training his tutor Amyus Crowe has been teaching him, but this time to help prove his brother, Mycroft's, innocence.
This book takes us on many twists and turns from London to Moscow in search of the truth with a few unseen surprises along the way.
