3.0

I have to admit that the author did a good job mimicking the writing style of Arthur Conan Doyle, but I thought the story was kind of overall. There have been supernatural elements to Sherlock Holmes stories before, like The Hounds of the Baskervilles, but there was always a logical, reality based solution, but here it is out and out fantasy, with vampires and all the mystical things that come with those creatures of the night. I always forget that, in the original Dracula novel, Dracula had a mustache, since none of the movies ever portrayed him that way.
