I spent most of the weekend reading this book and I found it quite enjoyable. It's well-plotted, there are several extremely fun scenes, and Chris manages to exposit the back-story of this world without boring the reader. The novel also contains shout-outs to other works of literature, complete with appearances by characters from the Holmes pantheon.There are some flaws, including a terrorist act that come off as really out-of-character, a revelation that risks turning a major character into a Mary Sue, and some overly-long sentences.However, those flaws do not cut into the enjoyability of the work too much. Overall, it's a fun novel and I recommend it.
