Critics Review
“A third round of Victorian detection and domestic friction for the imperishable Holmes brothers.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Abdul-Jabbar and Waterhouse’s third pastiche (after 2018’s Mycroft and Sherlock), their best yet, provides intriguing challenges for both Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes while continuing to present plausible backstories for the brothers….The authors do a stellar job of illuminating the siblings’ developing relationship while concocting a clever and twisty plot. Sherlockians will be enthralled.”-Publishers Weekly Starred Review “All the usual pleasures–blood and thunder, sibling rivalry, historical walk-ons…”-Kirkus Reviews
