Review title: Disappointment's afoot
Product review: Oh,dear. Mr. Millet has, I'm afraid, quite missed the mark. Let's say it right off - 'Too Long'. Over 300 dreary pages, when the story could have been told in half that. I have read many Holmes stories by authors other than Conan Doyle. Few have come close to the originals, but that's okay. Those men and women were not Doyle, so one must take what they get. But this novel was so very tedious. I think it should be noted that in the four Holmes novels by Doyle, Holmes himself was only in about half the story. Now we know why. Too much of even Sherlock Holmes can be a trial. I completed 'The Red Demon' only with great effort. I cannot recommend it.
