I wasn't sure if I was going to like yet another Sherlock variation - but this is just wonderful! I love Anthony Horowitz's writing and this co-authored story with Sarah J Naughton is up to the usual standard. Amazing imagination, great writing and a brilliant story. Great performance too. I'm buying the second in the series right away and please keep 'em coming
