Delightful entertainment

I am not a Holmes aficionado, having read only 6 or 7 hundred titles and not much scholarly work. I read for enjoyment and found myself laughing out loud on several occasions in this story, not because it is uproariously funny, but because it was so preposterously delightful. The Adventure is not about mimicking Doyle or Watson, although there are echoes of the canon, rather it is a breezy historical romance. . . I thought Jeffers captured Teddy quite nicely. A quick read and a good reread.
Not bad, not bad

I am probably not qualified to make a judgement of any SH book but I will give you my thoughts on this one.I was not bad as SH stories go. Boiled down, it is about a young Sherlock before the days of Watson in which he becomes friends with Teddy Roosevelt in his younger days. Holmes assists the NY police dept with a murder that eventually turns out to be an assasination plot against the President. It uses alot of quotes from the Canon as well as actual quotes from Roosevelt.The story does not drag but I question some of Holmes methods considering this is his younger days and he ends up doing things that you would expect later in his career, for example ordering a NY police officer to stay at the scene of crime till he can return, it is explained but it still stretches reason a bit.The story is told from TR point of view, as if he had replaced Watson so to speak. I have read worse and have read better but I would recommend giving it a glance.
