"Fun mix of the Sherlock Holmes universe and the Cthulhu mythos. As with any anthology the quality of the stories vary, but the stories are all well written, and even the worst of them are entertaining. The only downside with the organization is that the editor placed the best story, "A Study in Emerald" (written by Neil Gaiman), as the first story in the book, and the other stories just don't measure up to that one. A Study in Emerald is a great story, with a really good twist. Avoid any spoilers with respect to this story at all costs! Anyway, the book has a really cool concept, and is a lot of fun. Plus, if you are familiar with the Doyle and Lovecraft stories, you will find some great Easter eggs throughout the book."
"I hadn't enjoyed a book this much for a long time. Most of the stories are excellent,and the one that opens the book, Neil Gaiman's A study in Emerald, is a masterpiece.For a Holmes (and Lovecraft!) freak like me, this book is a dream come true."
"This was an amazing idea but the stories were a mixed bag. I enjoyed 50% of the book and was bored by the rest. They should have put the story by Neil Gaimin towards the back of the book. It was, for me, easily the best short story and I might not have been so disappointed in the authors that followed if the book had built up to it."
