Reception
[edit]Publishers Weekly found that the novel provided "more action than deduction" and found the ending to be "over-the-top" but felt that Adams' "obvious affection for the characters will leaving more traditional Sherlockians hoping he'll uses his gifts at recreating them in a less-fantastic narrative."[1] Seattle Post-Intelligencer found the book interesting but warned readers that it "bears little similarity" to Conan Doyle's original stories.[2] British Fantasy Society felt that Adams created an authentic feeling world and summed it up as "Pulp. Schlock. Fun."[3]
