I've been thinking for a while that these books are the grimdark of Victoriana detective works and this instalment hammers that home. There are a couple of times in this book which made me feel the same as the torture scenes in the First Law trilogy.
However, mixed with that is a pretty obvious culprit, silly word-play with names from Holmes stories and recurring allusions to Jack the Ripper 4 years before those murders happened, presumably because the author assumes it's the only thing anyone cares about when reading crime set in Victorian London.
The ending is grim and depressing but riven with bathos.
