I loved this book as I have loved everything else I have read by the author.
I have read all the Sherlock Holmes stories, some of them twice, but that was years ago and I don't remember the details. As a person who is familiar with the source material but not that clearly, this book with its constant riffing on Doyle's work was a lot of fun. I understand that people who remember the details better than I find this book to be more annoying than delightful. I understand that, but do not share their judgment.
