dipt_in_folly 's review for:
The Italian Secretary
by Caleb Carr
Having read all of the original Sherlock Holmes mysteries multiple times, I like to consider myself somewhat experienced on the subject. Absolutely loved the first chapter of the book. The banter between Holmes and Watson was spot on, with an ever so slightly modern twist. Unfortunately I think it went downhill from there. The plot line became increasingly muddled and the paranormal angle, which at first seemed quite promising, was utterly laughable at the end.
Not horrible, but by the last three chapters I felt it was rather a lost cause.
