Sticking closer to the 'original' Sherlock Holmes story, setting wise, than the 2010 Benedict Cumberbatch-starring BBC show, this is set - as the name implies! - before the Sherlock Holmes stories of Arthur Conan Doyle; before he becomes a 'consulting detective' in late Victorian England.

This also gets a lot of mileage out of the bromance between Sherlock and James Moriarty who, here, have yet to become rivals and are instead the best of friends as they investigate a mystery surrounding the Holmes family and - in particular - Sherlock's father and younger sister Beatrice.

Enjoyable.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love scary stories, ones that keep you on your toes, trying to figure out what's going on, and this one definitely has the creepy factor. Christy has said the house used to be her husband's home growing up, and some of the experiences described in the book happened to him and his family. Whoa!!!

I couldn't help but get engrossed in the story, especially the developing relationship between Ephraim and Brylee, as well as her friendship with Lynley. Then there would be parts that made me just want to scream at the book, throw it across the room, something, because that's how drawn into it I was. Oh, and I read it in one day, because I just couldn't put it down, THAT'S how great it is. Although, because of the ending, I'm on pins and needles waiting for more. I'm so glad my book club read this one this month, so awesome!! I'd highly recommend to anyone who likes supernatural stories, ghost stories, haunted houses, and the like. Fantastic!!

5 stars =)
