claudia_is_reading's review against another edition
3.0
Not my favourite Sherlock Holmes' pastiche, TBH.
It begins really slow. The first 4 chapters are a retelling of the ending of 'The Final Problem' and on the next one is from Irene Adler's POV. I really don't see why is there, except.
After that, it gets better, with Holmes in London and going after Jack the Ripper although I never really bought Holmes' theory.
And the ending? well, let's just say that it makes no sense to me. I can stretch my believe up to a point, but. Particularly because the reasons given for his actions were nonsensical.
The narration was adequate, but not brilliant.
