Language is course and vulgar in many places
The overall story is good, and I loved the combination of Sherlock and other literary figures. The faith discussed is great. The one downside is the use of profanity. Allusion to it is one thing, but the Bible clearly forbids profanity, even in a story. The language could be easily cleaned up and the story would be that much better. I hope there will be other installments to this series.
