I thoroughly enjoyed this first of King's book that I have read. it won't be my last. It's intelligently written with likable characters in the setting of London in the early 20's. It features Sherlock Holmes and a much younger woman who is a love interest but she is studying at Oxford while learning the tricks of Holmes' trade.

Good, fun book. This is the continuing story (although it stands alone) of a young woman who is a friend of Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed the mystery and romance, although perhaps hard core Holmes fans may not be as interested.
