If you're expecting a book purely based upon Holmes murders, I would not suggest this. Larson builds a huge picture with rich historical detail, which isn't some people's jams. This book is more so about the Worlds' Fair, and how the murder house took advantage of the slight upheaval.

I listened to the audiobook read by Rory Kinnear who had a bit of an uperty sounding accent to me but it worked well for the character of the author who ends up trailing ex DI Hawthorne as he investigates a murder with mysterious circumstances. It's a cleverly written book.
The characters are on the grating side but it's embraced in the book and I think there is a lot of potential moving forward for this series to get into the details of the gruff no-nonsense Hawthorne. There's plenty to think about in this captivating mystery.

The plot: New York City policemen Nick (Michael Douglas) and Charlie (Andy Garcia) witness a murder in a bar and quickly apprehend the assailant. The killer, named Sato (Yusaku Matsuda), is a member of Japan's infamous Yakuza mob, and Nick and Charlie must transport the gangster back to Osaka for his murder trial. There, Sato's fellow gangsters free him from police custody, forcing Nick and Charlie to scour Japan's dangerous underworld of organized crime in search of their fugitive.
