I stumbled on this one at the library. There was a lot in here that I appreciated - the irony was well done and very enjoyable. The appearances of real historical figures was fun and accurate, for the most part. I liked the twist on the classic vision of Holmes and Watson. But the violence was really over the top. Besides that, I couldn't believe how long it took Lestrade to solve these crimes. I had figured out the murderer after the second or third death. Instead it takes him to the very end, after 11 people are dead! I won't reread and I won't read more in the series.

It all started in 1891 when Inspector Lestrade is sent to the Isle of Wight. There he investigates the death of a man who has been walled up in Shanklin Chine. But this is just the start of the random killings. Is there a serial killer stalking England.
Interesting mystery which did take it take time to get going, but there were moments when I felt it was verging towards a comedic story which I believe let it down.

This books is fun to read and really enjoyable.
i liked the idea of giving the main role to Lestrade and Sherlock Holmes taking the back seat.
It's full of humour and an interesting mystery.
Highly recommended!
