Sherlock Holmes and The Raven's Curse

    “

    A fantastic and faithful addition to the ever-expansive Holmes canon. Not only is it just as thrilling, cheeky, and clever as one would expect a Sherlock Holmes adventure to be, but it manages to add new depth to these characters with a story that looks poignantly at themes of family and the inescapability of identity. There are some great Sherlock Holmes stories for the modern age, and this undoubtedly ranks highly among them.
