Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle’s novels are extremely popular so there’s no surprise that more and more
books about Holmes and a certain doctor are published each year under different
names. Frankly, I tried to stay as much away as possible form this kind of
books. I didn’t expect anything good from this literature. Plus had no intention
to read fanfics. I’m really glad that came across Horowitz book though because
I wasn’t disappointed.
The plot itself is
interesting even for containing two parallel and connected subplots. And once
again Holmes proved that he is genius for he successfully solved two different
cases at the same time. The intrigue in this book will hold you at the age of
your seat till the very end.
The writing style
and depicting characters deserves a lot to say. Obviously the author loves and
feels the characters. Sometimes it looked like they are more real than in Doyle’s
writing. The writing style has been captured almost identically which made me
really happy. All in all, it’s a fun read and a time-killer especially during
the trips.
