I don't want to spoil the fun but there are more twists and turns in this book than in a roller coaster. The surprises are not limited to the middle of the book but go all the way to the end. I am a fan of the original books and the old Basil Rathbone B&W Sherlock movies and this retelling in modern times did not disappoint. I also learned the the British call their black & white police cars Pandas.
The bad guys are very believable, arrogant and privileged who justify whatever they want and have the money to back it. Not with Sherlock on the case. I will not be surprised to find out this book is being turned into a movie.
When you consider this is BL Higgins' first book it is a surprise. I hope to read more good things from this author.
