I did enjoy this trilogy more than I feared I would; I've read too many bad pastiches, and to be honest I'm not that fond of Doyle's prose. I steamed through this trilogy. The "notes within letters within diaries within..." trope was carried to the point of breaking, without actually falling apart. It felt to me that putting that puzzle together was part of the fun for the author... Just as writing the trilogy must have been fun, as the fun in writing it for me translated into pleasure in reading! I liked them enough though to also order the hard copy for a later rereading, so let that speak for itself!
