I think even Laurie King's grocery list would read well: her style is just a joy. I'm in love. I'm supposed to fall asleep reading at night in bed, but this holds my attention so well that I can't. This is not a story about Holmes, which is a relief, because no one could imitate him well enough for me. But the tension between him and his "apprentice" is very well done indeed. I can't say enough: character, plot, descriptions, 10 stars. You can even read the last page and still go back and enjoy the whole adventure: rare for me.
