It is evident from fairly early into the book that the author knows his subject. The scene and atmosphere are set very well and the characters come to life.
What I find extremely irritating and to some extent unforgivable is American authors who give English, Victorian characters, American figures of speech. For example Holmes and Watson in conversation use 'gotten' 'fall' and 'pesky' and the book is littered with American spelling. In addition it clearly has not been proof read, there are typos throughout the Kindle book. Reading this book is like watching an English Victorian period drama where the main character appears speaking with a Bronx accent.
This lack of attention to detail I find irritating and for me it detracts from what would have been a very good book.
