Searching for a good tasteful mystery and thought I would give this book a try -- who could go wrong with Sherlock Holmes. Not bad, not great. Certainly did not desire to read more from this author at this time. ( )

This is really a novella or short story centering around Irene Adler asking Sherlock for help in exposing the use of a gramophone to record important people using the services of a bordello. ( )

A good read making the improbable seem matter of fact. After all, why shouldn't Irene Adler take Sherlock to a bordello? ( )
