Another very good book in the Sherlock Holmes.
Even though Sherlock is older now than he was in the first book and has immensely matured, this still feels more like the very first book. Matty and Sherlock are more or less solving a mystery alone, which is quite refreshing to read after the previous books. It also showcases Sherlocks and Mattys friendship really well, which, of course, is always great.
However, it also felt a bit boring at times, especially after the very unique plots of the previous books, which just seemed bigger in terms of the ongoing mystery.
Oh, and there was a pattern of numbers mentioned (1,5,12,22,35 and so on) but the relation of the numbers was never mentioned, even though I was looking forward to it, since I like numbers (and I solved and just wanted to know whether I was right, but since it never got mentioned again I had to look it up myself.).
All in all, it was a very solid book which I highly enjoyed.

Sherlock grown up!
This is a great mystery it has to be said I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Take a trip around Oxford as Sherlock continues to be as curious as ever and solve the mystery of the missing body parts.
If you're looking for the next mystery to be a good one look no further.
