'A wonderfully entertaining, high-speed, high-stakes adventure with two, no FOUR and more, characters from classic detective fiction! Holmes and Moriarty by Gareth Rubin is the real deal: an accomplished tribute, true to the spirit of Conan-Doyle, but with a thrillingly original story and enough accomplished inventiveness to captivate and satisfy. The perfect fix for Holmes fans - thoroughly recommended!' Janice Hallett

The Turnglass, then make this top of your TBR pile . . . Such a pacy read, and one not just for Holmes fans but anyone who enjoys a race against time'

South London Press'A mouth-wateringly ingenious premise'
The Telegraph'Aiming to slot seamlessly into Conan Doyle's existing canon rather than upend it, Rubin constructs a tightly plotted, slightly fantastical mystery that is so far up the street of traditional Holmes fans it's practically knocking down the front door of 221B'
Buzz Magazine'Entertaining and a pleasant addition to a growing post-Conan Doyle canon'
