" A fun little read. Can't say I'm well versed in all Sherlock-dom, as I noticed a good plenty of references to previous escapades that went above my head, but it was an engaging mystery with lovely touches of Victorian England that I enjoyed. Read it in just a few days. Thanks sis! "

" Excellent narration by Derek Jacobi but I found the story itself to be a bit hit or miss. I actually enjoyed the "first" mystery more. It's the more traditional of the two Holmes and Watson find themselves in. It's also got what I think of as the perfect ending to a mystery, one that you don't see coming but makes perfect sense in retrospect. As far as the mystery surrounding the actual "House of Silk", well, I should never be ahead of the detective in a mystery and I certainly shouldn't be ahead of Sherlock Holmes but in this case, I had it figured out pretty far in advance. Still, there were plenty of entertaining scenes and it was still pretty enjoyable overall. "

" This is a new Sherlock Holmes adventure, authorized by his estate, and written by Anthony Horowitz, the author of my son's favorite Alex Rider series. The premise is that this tale would be too shocking for its time, so Watson pens it after Holmes' death and stipulates that it cannot be read for a hundred years. It was a fun read and it felt authentically Holmesian to me, even though I am no expert. 3-1/2 stars. "

" AH has captured the Conan Doyle style very well and although the subject matter is disturbing it makes for a good SH read. "

" Very good take on Sherlock Holmes and follows two separate but intertweaving stories. I highly recommend this book. "

" Very good. So much like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in every way, you would swear it was written by him. "

" Recommended. I was a little worried about reading this, wondering if it could hold up to the Sherlock Holmes stories but I needn't have worried. "

" I am a Sherlock Holmes fan, but found this book rather disappointing. I listened to unabridged version on audible.co.uk and as it was read by Derek Jacobi it made the whole experience worthwhile. "

" I enjoyed this Holmes mystery. I was sure Horowitz would do a good job and I wasn't disappointed. And I guessed correctly who one of the bad guys was! "

Brad | 8/19/2012
" Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Did I mention it was awesome!?! Should have seen the ending from the beginning, but somewhat disturbing finale. A book worthy of Doyle himself. Another first-time-Sherlock success!!! I look forward to more. "
