This was a treat, Sherlock Holmes and Lizzie Borden! *laughs*
That combo aside, I enjoyed a lot the writing, the perfectly painting of the Victorian Era and, as much I like Holmes and Watson in their London, it was interesting to see them in this new location.
There are many quotes from the famous trial, which I appreciated, and interesting secondary characters that help the narrative. And the portrait of Lizzie Borden is chilling, as it should be.
A fantastic story.

Presented in an unusual way, the first part of the book is, as the title says, an evening in Baker Street. Holmes announce to Watson his intention to retire to Sussex and the two friends chat amiably about their long partnership, reminiscing old cases and talking about themselves, while old friends and acquaintances come to visit.
I particularly liked Lestrade's visit and see the obvious respect that has grown between them in all those years working together :D
After this, there are two short stories, 'The Loch Ness Affair' and 'An Essex Adventure' which are inconclusive in their endings, but interesting nevertheless.
Kevin Theis does a great job with the narration.
