Ben captured the writing thumbprint of Arthur Conan Doyle! have read quite a bit of Sherlock Holmes and I've watched many, many shows and movies. It's clear Ben spent an incredible amount of time researching Doyle's vernacular and writing style. There were several times when I forgot that it wasn't an original Sherlock Holmes! Thank you so much for giving me the chance to read a new Sherlock! Can't wait to read another!
