I like the way the story hinges on Stagger-Lee (possibly my favorite blues) and on Picnic at Hanging Rock (though that part isn't spelled out).<br /><br />Definitely feels like the start of a series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-48998089620316719782017-09-24T18:08:15.349+01:002017-09-24T18:08:15.349+01:00i enjoyed this, especially the appearances of Dais...i enjoyed this, especially the appearances of Daisy and the style of writing as well as the case and how it was solved.<br />Some parts I found twee; some of the dialogue and the introduction of Yvette.

I know Holmes is traditionally an enigma, but somehow I wanted a bigger picture of him. Ingenious plot, but for me rather top-heavy with ballistics and biographies, but the writing style is smilingly quirky, and puts me in mind of Christopher Fowler's Bryant & May series. More Holmes please! <br />B r o o k eAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142492723192523556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-47274771194002596012017-09-22T14:56:33.725+01:002017-09-22T14:56:33.725+01:00Thank you for a good story.

It would be interesting to see it expanded into a novella or a novel - so that even greater tension and uncertainty could be woven into it - and maybe seeing Holmes bark up the wrong tree before solving the crime?
