Synopsis

A thrilling chase as Sherlock Holmes is sent a fiendish puzzle by Irene Adler over a snowy London Christmas, in this stunningly packaged mysterySherlock Holmes’s discovery of a mysterious musical score initiates a devious Christmas challenge set by Irene Adler, with clues that are all variations on the theme of “theft without theft,” such as a statue missing from a museum found hidden in the room it was taken from. In the snowy London lead-up to Christmas, Holmes’s preoccupation with the “Adler Variations” risks him neglecting the case of his new client, Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who has received a series of threats in the form of animal carcasses left on his doorstep. Could they really be gifts from a strange spirit that has pursued Nansen since the completion of his expedition to cross Greenland? And might this case somehow be related to Irene Adler’s great game?

Goodreads review by Mikala on November 27, 2023

Genuinely enjoyed. Very slow read and honestly disjointed and all over the place. But it got my attention for some reason 😅 I think you have to read this slowly or it's going to be very hard to follow. There are just like 15 different subplots in this and diversions in the plot that fork off in a new......more

This is set at Christmas 1890 around that 'woman' the one person Holmes was beaten by. But the print stinks was really difficult to get read. It is bit slow and once again like his last Holmes has famous real person in in it. Too much waffles and not enough red herrings......more
