I really enjoyed this story. Very interesting and intricate, as per usual, with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes.

I particularly enjoyed this story because of the "bad guys" back story. Loved it! This story that ties back with America's own history was very clever and very interesting to explore as a reader.

This is my favorite Sherlock Holmes book so far.
