challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective relaxing sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

Very anticlimactic. It's built up as a spy story in which Holmes is contacted by the government to recover a diplomatic letter, which could lead to war. It turned then into a boring story without any suspense.

Not quite the twist I was expecting. One of my favorite Sherlock stories yet.
