Enjoyable entry in the enormous flood of Holmes "tributes" now hitting the market (16 and counting in this series alone!). Sticks very much to the conventional Holmes model with obvious inspiration from the Hound of the Baskervilles, which is referenced often in the story. This story of a tormented Torquay family and their haunted mansion is, at times, genuinely spooky, even to the point of Holmes himself apparently conceding the possible existence of ha'nts, although we all know there will be a flesh & blood perpetrator behind it all (although we never actually meet him face to face!). A nice little romp in the truest Sherlockian tradition, lightweight but fun. Worth reading.… (mais)
