Review: Short and stylistically flawed
Rating: 2 out of 5

The brevity of the story could be excused if the author had in any way mirrored the writing style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As it is, the story is centered far too much on Watson, the relationship between the main characters is far too argumentative, and the pace of the story is too fast, as if written for television instead of reading.  The writing style is flawed from the beginning, focusing more on Watson's own thoughts and feelings instead of observing and narrating the story. Details were lacking, and the dialog was written with the skill of a seventh-grader. (e.g. "I said", "Holmes remarked", etc.) Holmes fans should steer clear of this train wreck of fan fiction.
