The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
4.0
I found it very interesting that Anthony Horowitz was the first author allowed to write about Sherlock Holmes (except, of course, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).
I have personally never liked the stories of the original Sherlock Holmes but I was impressed with the story that Horowitz presented. The skill, thought and planning that he would've had to take on really fascinates me as this book had so many twists and turns and just when you thought that you had something figured out and felt you were ahead of the story, it was completely turned around.
I am in awe that he was able to write such a great story - and keep it relatively easy to read in the modern age while sticking closely to the politeness and geniality of people in that era.
