About this listen
Sherlock Holmes is dead.
Days after Holmes and his arch-enemy Moriarty fall to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls, Pinkerton agent Frederick Chase arrives from New York. The death of Moriarty has created a poisonous vacuum which has been swiftly filled by a fiendish new criminal mastermind. Ably assisted by Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction, Chase must hunt down this shadowy figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, a man determined to engulf London in a tide of murder and menace.
The game is afoot . . .

A well worth it read particularly for homes fans
If you're a friend of Sherlock Holmes and this is certainly well worth three certainly one of the betterbooks about homes since the original. Sticking faithfully to the style of the Holmesian works I'm happy to say I was one of the people that guestsurprise twist to the novel but it was very well written

A well written addition to the Holmes omnibus
Horowitz writes very well and I enjoyed both the character development and the integration with the body of Holmes "lore". I though the twist at the end a little clumsy, but not out of keeping with Horowitz's playful approach to his material.
I would read another Holmesian novel by Anthony Horowitz.

what a twist!
I've read a few books but the same author, and he is always so incredibly creative with his writing - this one was on point. I laughed when I realised the twist. very well done.

Drivel
Poor prose, derivative drivel, gratuitous gore - a pageant of perversity. No redeeming features. None whatsoever.

I don’t know what this is, but it’s not Sherlock Holmes
Anthony Horowitz’s first Holmes novel was excellent, amazing, superb. This is… not.
I like AH because he’s clever, self aware, and does meta very well. I have raced through and at least partly guessed the endings to all of his adult mysteries. That’s not a boast, that’s testament to the skills of a novelist who leaves enough clues for a seasoned reader to pick up on while crafting plot and character that engages attention, heart, and mind, with humour, intelligence, bumbling humility and devastating wit.
All of that was absent in this book.
I cannot understand what Horowitz, his publisher, or the Holmes estate were thinking by releasing this. It barely relates to Holmes. The plot is complicated and boring. Meanwhile, we know there is a twist, but there are no meaningful clues, there’s no urgency or emotional connection with these characters that makes us care about getting there. I didn’t guess it because I didn’t care. I was waiting for it to get good and intriguing but it never did.
If you have to betray your characters, the trust of your reader, and spend over 40 minutes on post-action exposition to get your twist over the line, you may as well not bother. Since no more Holmes novels came after this, I assume everyone involved felt the same. What a shame.
