Reception

Kirkus Reviews called the book "the most authentic and convincing post-Conan Doyle Holmes adventure to date."[3] Publishers Weekly felt that "while it faithfully echoes a Holmesian novel in tone and design, this latest effort seems to lack any life of its own."[4] The Los Angeles Times called Hardwick's detail "predictably perfect" and predicted that Sherlockians "should take to the book as to comfortable old slippers."[5] January Magazine called it "a fine and faithful extension of The Hound of the Baskervilles.[6]
