The Brothers of Baker Street by Michael Robertson
3.0
The second in a series that has a great premise. Letters addressed to Sherlock Holmes must be answered by the second floor tenant of a building on Baker Street. Reggie Heath a barrister finds the letters to be an annoyance and passes them on to his brother, Nigel, to answer.
Unfortunately, Robertson isn't quite able to deliver a story on par with Arthur Conan Doyle. This second entry in the series does come the closest, with a threat made in a letter from Moriarty, a series of crimes connected to the black cabs that roam the streets of London, and lots of red herrings. I still found this book to be somewhat predictable, although there was a little more character development,
