Query: This is not the Holmes and Watson you know and love...

The plot of this book is unbelieveable (reads like a "Fu Manchu" story), Holmes and Watson are so out of character (they sound like Americans, do not use proper etiquette, and act more like they are in a spy novel rather than a mystery), and the story is overly wordy.More research into the time period, a thorough read of the original Sherlock Holmes stories,along with a good editor, might have helped.
