Title: Atmospheric, Intellectual and Character Driven Story
Product review: Fawcett has perfectly captured the Victorian zen with this addition to the Holmes tapestry. As most fans know, Mycroft, Sherlock's older and "smarter" brother is the brain of the British government's intelligence and counterintelligence services of the period, and Fawcett convincingly populates the time and place.The prose is wonderful, particularly the dialogue, which perfectly captures the essence of the highly articulate and oh-so-English main characters. It's a pleasure to read an author that places such an emphasis on the quality of the dialogue.The story itself moves forward with real momentum; I found it increasingly difficult to put the book down as I progressed through it.Highly recommended to Holmes fans, or any reader with an interest in Victorian settings.
