Review title: "Research? What's that?"
Product review: I'll admit, I get inordinately annoyed by boneheaded mistakes in period novels that could have easily been fixed had the writer done even a smidgen of research. Unfortunately, this book is loaded to the gills with some of the most glaring mistakes I've ever seen in professionally published fiction.I should have known that this book would raise my blood pressure when, in the very first section, the Honourable Eustace Bergarot is referred to *by Watson* as "Honourable Bergarot"."Honourable Bergarot", I bleeping kid you not.And it goes downhill from there: a brigadier-general in the British Army?? This is only one of the gobsmackers you'll find. It's just...feh, I have better things to do than to read a book about Victorian England written by someone who won't even do the most basic research.
