Another of MacBird's excellent post-Doyle Sherlock Holmes books, and probably one of the best if you want to sample her work before comitting to the much longer "Unquiet Spirits" or slightly gruesome "Art in the Blood".
MacBird is easily one of the best Sherlock Holmes writers: smart, funny, complex - and not afraid to explore and develop the characters of Holmes and Watson more than Conan Doyle ever did.
