Title: Don't waste your money !
Product review: This book is nowhere close to the style of Doyle or other Holmes authors. It is a self-published (and poorly self-edited) ego trip by Paxton so he could expound his theories of graphology, of which he claims to be an expert, and his personal family history. His used his wife as "illustrator" (see cover for her style, does that look like Holmes ?) and he probably wrote off a trip to Europe as "research". His writing style is atrocious (eg: Holmes starts 3 sentences in a row, in the same paragraph, with: "I have been..."He completely fails to capture the Holmes style and instead lulls his readers into disinterest with long, boring dissertations and completely unrealistic dialogue.This is about as phony a Holmes volume as ever hit the market. Try John Dickson Carr or Nicolas Meyer if you're ready to expand beyond Doyle's original canon.
