Review title: Painfully plodding, tedious, non-Canonical
Product review: In nearly 400 tedious pages, we get enough uncorrelated plots to construct four or five good Holmesian pastiches of ordinary length. Holmes and Watson here do not even get around to questioning the major suspect until around page 215. Neither Holmes nor Watson runs true to the Conan-Doyle form; often they spat like a pair of old queens. As another reviewer has noted, Watson even commits the unforgivable (to Victorians) sin of addressing characters by their first names, about 3/4 of the way through the book, and consistently thereafter.The book cries out for an editor, who could have carved a pretty good 200 page novel out of the raw material here.The text is full of vexing misprints, typically several per page. Four or five are so extensive as to render whole paragraphs unintelligible.I didn't enjoy the book, and found it a real chore to get through. Not recommended.
