Shadowfall, A Novel of Sherlock Holmes
I almost put this book down after reading this first chapter. Unfortunately, I didn't.This book offers a rather unique look at the origins of Holmes. While I am open to new ideas about the detective, this book went from strange to bizarre to outright ridiculous, speeding from conclusion to awkward conclusion with none of the logic that more traditional Holmes pastiches offer.
I DO NOT recommend wasting time with this one.
