This was a lot of fun. Didn't know that I was going to read one of George Mann's own series The Casebook of Newbury and Hobbes.
It also has a crossover character named Inspector Charles Bainbridge. He was one of my favourites in the Will of the Dead (Sherlock Holmes story)...and here he was too.
Loved it. Now I have to read this series.

Short, but fun. It reminded me of a classic Sherlock Holmes short story with the way it was told.

This is a short, concise mystery story about Newbury that occurs between books. It's exactly the length it needs to be and was a fun read at the time. However, I didn't find it quite as interesting the books in the proper series and find the details growing fuzzy. If you're waiting to read the next book in the series I'd encourage you to see it out and give it try.
