My Opinion

M K Wiseman has done a commendable job in Sherlock Holmes and The Singular Affair. Although, I cannot compare the book with that of Arthur Conan Doyle. The book still lacks that thrilling aura which you get while reading Sherlock Holmes. The plot is good and the author has perfectly described Sherlock in his early days. I also liked the cover which depicts the plot. The book has adventure, action and mystery. I would give the book 4 stars. Thanks to Edelweiss for the DRC.
