Review brought to you by OBS reviewer AngieI have not read any of the original Sherlock Holmes books, and was really excited to read something that was an `homage' to this classic series. I was not disappointed in the least.I have to admit that having seen the recent Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr., I did imagine him in this role as I was reading. It made it quite exciting and really helped to bring it to life in my imagination.What I enjoyed about this story was the crossover in another well-known story, The Island of Dr. Moreau by HG Wells. It was fascinating to see how the author was able to intertwine the stories in such a way that they felt natural. The interaction between the characters was seamless and felt truly accurate to both original works and the period of the story.I don't often read books a second time, but this one will definitely make it on that short list!This review and more at openbooksociety dot com
