Very fun and easy read. I like the variety of elements included that allude to classic Sherlock stories, with the atmosphere of WWII. The last book did feel more era accurate, but overall, I felt this book owned the aura more comfortably.

Modern addition to the Sherlock Holmes canon. It’s WW2 and someone has invented a way to cause people to spontaneously combust, seemingly without outside interference. Sherlock & Watson are supposedly based on the Basil Rathbone duo, although Watson seems a lot more intelligent and capable than he was in those films, as does Lestrade. Plenty of adventures, with life-threatening peril. It was convincing as a Conan Doyle copy, and an enjoyable read.

I liked this gripping and highly entertaining story set during WWII and featuring Holmes and Watson.
It's always a pleasure to read about this characters and how he could have adapted to a different age.
This is a well plotted and compelling short novel that I read in one sitting.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
