A nice, solid Sherlock-inspired story. I loved the addition of the supernatural to the story line because it didn't detract from the core mystery-solving romp. I love all Sherlock adaptations and now I can add a new one to the list. Jackaby lives up to the Sherlock arrogance with the secret heart underneath it all. And Abigail Rook was nicely developed and had a backstory that I would like to explore even further because she's an intriguing character.

The plot of this installment was exciting to read and I can't wait to start the sequel.
