My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 years on from the first Lovegrove Holmes book, "The Christmas Demon", and the demise of the Hound Of The Baskervilles, could Jack Stapleton really have survived and be executing his dastardly plans once again on the residence of Baskerville hall.
Sir Henry's wife Audrey murdered and a giant, bloodsucking moth on the loose. Who else should take on this case, but the legendary Holmes and Watson.
The characters are even more detailed than before, and the journey spanning many more varied locations this time has even more meat to it than before. It feel's completely believable as a Conan Doyle novel, just sightlier easier to digest in Lovegrove's modern tongue.
I found the story gripping - the pace of events seems to slowly increase right up until the climatic end, with many twists and turns.
Again, the physical copy is beautiful and will look amazing on the shelf, and the attention to detail and to the source material is second to none. A really enjoyable, modern Sherlock story.
