Good Short Story with Holmes and Watson

Good but not particularly compelling short story written in the Doyle style. Certainly entertaining and I enjoyed it, but just nothing very special or new.

Narrator was good but again, not exceptional.

If you're a real Holmes fan, I would recommend this to go along with the other recent Holmes stories. Good as a short story. It's always fun to see what obvious clues I've missed.

Superb!

True to the spirit of the original Arthur Conan Doyle-Sherlock Holmes canon. An engaging story which, despite its highly original plot line, is nevertheless faithful to the characters ACD created.
Narration by Patrick Conn is flawless.
