I enjoyed this story, though I'm always a bit sad to think of Holmes or Watson outliving each other (it's given away on the book jacket). The book contains minor spoilers for ACD canon.

Magical. Horowitz has captured Watson's voice so well, there was never a doubt in my mind that this was a Sherlock Holmes adventure. Applause and much respect, Mr Horowitz! The story drags a bit in places as Watson is given to long bouts of navel-gazing, but the crime is intriguing, Holmes is mesmer...
