Black ice

Very good.better than most tales of senior Holmes.

This book took me by surprise when I finished it, the story line was so amazing and Mycroft had a bigger role in the book too.You really start to see Sherlock develop more into the character we know and love from the original books. Black Ice starts off like a Young Sherlock book and then turns into a canon style Sherlock book with the investigation of the crime scene and finding clues that the police couldn't find and the typical Sherlock deductions too but still keeps the feel of a Young Sherlock novel.This book is the best in the series so far. Well done Andrew Lane for the brilliant series!

The author definitely creates a young Sherlock Holmes that is believable and the reader gets plenty of clues as to what made the boy the man he became. I had feared this would be a trilogy, however it was great to know there is a 4th book coming in the series and I have already pre-ordered it. Having studied Russian history before I went into teaching I found the book very insightful as to what the Russian Empire may have been like at the time the story takes place. I could feel the bitter cold and see the gloom described by Andrew Lane. Let's have many more.

Good condition, shiny cover, arrived in time and it is a fun read.

It is refreshing and well written. I like young Sherlock Holmes better than the grown-up one! He is softer and so arrogant.
