"An homage to the master....There isn't an unpolished stone in the pile....Put this on your Christmas list for Holmes' many fans. Grade: A."

"Uniformly satisfying...remind[ing] readers of the elements of Conan Doyle's greatness: difficult puzzles, vivid but selective detail, and tight dialogue."

"Solid anthology...uniformly faithful to the spirit of Doyle's creation."
