Review of 'The Veiled Detective (Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes)' on 'Goodreads'

I truly loved this, the best of the post-Doyle Holmes books I've read (and of Davies' writings, which often leave me cold). A delightful "what-if" that, if written today, could have served as the pilot of a reboot of the entire Holmes canon. Highly recommended.
