"Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
This book is the first in a trilogy with an interesting twist on the Sherlock Holmes theme. The story is about Conan Doyle, writer and creator of Sherlock Holmes, trying to run away from his fame. He goes to a village in Switzerland by Reichenbach Falls in an attempt to be anonymous and ponder his career. A tourist ends up dying while he is there, and he is suspected of being the guilty party. Meanwhile, a character named Holloway acts as if he is Sherlock Holmes and also points a finger at Doyle.
I'll not tell you how the story comes out. You'll have to read it yourself. I can tell you that I had a hard time getting into this story. It was o.k., but it honestly wasn't something I would pass on to anyone. The characters were fine as well, but I had a hard time finishing this book. The plot is an interesting idea, but I didn't care for the book itself.
I received this book free from Kregel to provide a review. I was not obligated to provide a positive review.
