Title: Clever plots but poor writing...
Review: While most of the stories are based around clever plots and stories the tone and overall writing ruins any sense of authenticity.The stories sound 20th century...since when do English gentlemen in Victorian times use words like "a lot"?? Also while tame by today's standards, many of the words (hell, damn) are used too frequently and would have been considered completely inappropriate during the late 1800's.Some of the mysteries are not mysteries at all but odd stories about nothing in particular.The writer should have followed the tone and style of the originals...
