Reception
Publishers Weekly found that the novel provided "more action than deduction" and found the ending to be "over-the-top" but felt that Adams' "obvious affection for the characters will leave more traditional Sherlockians hoping he'll uses his gifts at recreating them in a less-fantastic narrative." Seattle Post-Intelligencer found the book interesting but warned readers that it "bears little similarity" to Conan Doyle's original stories to Conan Doyle's original stories. The British Fantasy Society felt that Adams created an authentic-feeling world and summed it up as "Pulp. Schlock. Fun."
