Stephen Mertz's Sherlock might not be the most faithful version of Conan-Doyle's detective, he feels more like James Bond at times, but this is still a wonderfully enjoyable adventure. It's fast-paced, funny and inventive. What it lacks in logical deduction it makes up for in sheer entertainment value. It has zombies, airships, Einstein, great set piece action sequences and an enormous sense of fun. Mertz has been writing this kind of thing for decades and it shows, he never puts a foot wrong and turns in a book that will leave you grinning ear to ear.
