4.5/5 This SH fan was not disappointed by this novel. Attention was given in keeping the writing style and our beloved Holmes and Watson as close to Doyle's intent as possible. Perhaps Sherlock is a bit more condescending to Watson, but Watson definitely holds his own and his skills as a doctor are needed almost as much as SH's detective skills. A Gothic keep where a supposed Black Thurrick-Krampus demon is running amok, this is a worthy holiday read. (

The Characters:

The Story:

Writing: Mostly good. Sherlock seemed to be very condescending, especially towards Watson, but I’m not sure if that was a result of the writhing or narration (tone is everything)
Overall Interest: The mystery did have me enraptured.
Length of Reading Time: Good. It was no hardship to bear because I was so curious about who the villain was.

This is a typical Sherlock Holmes story set around Christmas. I enjoyed it but I found myself hearing/seeing Basil Rathbone in my head. He's the Sherlock who was on TV every Sunday when I was a kid. (
