Series: Nicholas Meyer Holmes Pastiches (#2)
Nicholas Meyer again brings Sherlock Holmes and John Watson together with Victorian-era historical figures — this time from London's West End theatre scene. Allusions to Jack the Ripper and Bram Stoker's Dracula make this a fun, macabre tale.
8/25/2012: I remember enjoying this book; particularly the focus on Holmes' addiction. I have the "Sherlockian" on my to read list.
