It is the start of the First World War. Sherlock Holmes is coaxed out of a short-lived retirement to track down an exotic dancer to retrieve a secret accidentally given to her by a young patent clerk before it falls into the hands of a hostile government. As much a detective story as a brief history of the causes, reasons, and the long-term futility of a long forgotten war.

This... wasn't a good story. The only thing I liked was seeing a more 'real' Mary, but the rest...

We don't get to see Sherlock Holmes investigating, we don't get to see how he catches Mata Hari (if it's he who really does it), and bringing Einstein seemed unnecessary.

Add to that that there were extremely long pauses between chapters, which was very distracting, and well...

Sorry, I don't think I'll be reading more books by this author.
