"Taken aback though he was by the man's words, Tommy did not hesitate. If nerve had successfully carried him so far, it was to be hoped it would carry him yet farther. He quietly passed into the house and mounted the ramshackle staircase. Everything in the house was filthy beyond words. The grimy paper, of a pattern now indistinguishable, hung in loose chains from the wall. In every angle was a grey mass of cobweb."I love this author's writing style! He could write phone books and I would still buy them. This book is Sherlock Holmes's retelling of The Secret Adversary and is a perfect, fun, engaging blend of the two. HGW always puts an unexpected twist in his books and, though I am a huge fan, they always catch me by surprise. If you're a fan of classic literature or fiction in general, you should check this out.
