I finished reading the book today, or perhaps I should say I skimmed the last 18% or so!
I found the book up until then to be a favorable Holmes-Lovecraft mashup. Lovegrove's characterizations felt spot on, especially his [Spoiler Alert] Moriarty. I was especially taken with his reworking of Holmes and Watson's first meeting.
However, as I alluded to in the beginning of my review, as I coasted into the last 18% of it on my Kindle Fire, I found myself beginning to feel sleepy, my eyelids slowly easing their way down. It was at that point that I found myself skimming to get myself to the end.
The ending did not feel as strong as the book started. It felt like it went on too long. By the last page, I was just, "Whew! Glad that's over!". I will most likely check out the other two books in THE CTHULHU CASEBOOKS trilogy, but no rush on that.
