Briefly, I'm with the naysayers; it didn't hold up. Fun to revisit and refresh my memory about Holmes's and Watson's backstories and I loved the Victorian setting, but purely on its merits the story was lacking. As I mentioned in a different thread, I'm amused that so far this year we've had several examples of faulty use of a narrator; Watson is like Noel Strachan with his detailed knowledge of events in Utah that he couldn't possibly have possessed.
So, an amusing story but faulty as a detective story and as literature.
