!!! I've loved Sherlock Holmes stories since I was in elementary school, and this was really fun to read. I've been grumpy about books lately, nothing is as good as I want it to be, but I picked this up after dinner and didn't put it down until I'd finished it. I'm giving it 5 stars just for that, though if you're in the mood for an entertaining mystery with fantastic characters and plenty of red herrings you should try it too. I'm eagerly awaiting the next in the series.
