This book is what every Sherlock Holmes fan was waiting for: Anthony capture Conan Doyle's writing essence, with a detail of the 21st century, which makes it easier to understand than the short stories written centuries ago.
What made me read this book was the fact that Anthony wrote as if he was Doyle. That immediately captured my attention because I thought "is that even possible?" Apparentely, yes. I was so surprised by this that I started investigating how this amazing author did it. He researched a lot about the Victorian period and even set 10 rules about the writing and plot, which I found quite interesting (you can read all of this in the end of the book - but that doesn't mean you can't read this part before you finish reading the story.)
The whole story is very complex, with amazing plot twists and excellent cliffhangers at the end of each chapter that made you want to read the following chapter. Eventually, I needed some sleep, but I could never do that at the end of each chapter, so I always left the chapters "unfinished" and continued reading it the following day.
A compelling story that is never boring, and the next book, called Moriarty, surely is even better than this one. I am looking forward to read it.
