Good production
The game is afoot
A decent fun adventure as the younger sister of the famous detective goes in search of their Mother. This obviously has quite a big budget and features a talented cast. Millie Bobby Brown, of @Stranger Things is fun to watch in this. Quite lighthearted and only a 12 rating suggests the target audience is young adults. This isn't taxing on the old grey cells and doesn't have a great deal of mystery to it. However it held my interest. If you enjoy the Sherlock character then you should find this an enjoyable watch.

The games a foot!
A great all too little known film from '86. Set in Sherlock Holmes school days setting the story background as he becomes the worlds most famous detective. I remember seeing this at the cinema and it is just the sort of film full of action and adventure everyone should love. Steven Spielberg was involved in the production and it shows. This film has a feel to it like the Mummy and Indiana Jones films. It also has some very good SFX for the time, including very early use of cgi. If you have missed this film then you are missing out, track it down!

So, 2 things:

1) I actually listened to the Stephen Fry presented Audible version of this (in between bouts of actually reading it)
2) I was expecting there to be an over-arching plot, similar to something like 'The Hounds of the Baskervilles'

With regards to #2, there isn't.

This, instead, hews closer to something like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in that it is presented as a series of more-or-less standalone cases, with the final one in the collection 'His Last Bow' and with that one set in the early 1910s, just before the outbreak of World War One, and in which Holmes comes out of retirement to solve one last case.
