I remember finding everything about Freud pretty dull - the mystery was not good and it was mostly about seeing Sherlock Holmes interact with Freud, which isn't something that interests me at all. ( ) As a self-professed Sherlock maniac, I've read many pastiches in many anthologies, but I had never read an entire novel (except the four in the original canon). I was engulfed in this romp that almost bordered on comedy in some scenes. Having Sherlock meet another "real" famous person who's responsible for helping Holmes quit cocaine was ingenious and fun. The voice of Watson also rings true; Meyer definitely wrote with Watson's complete voice in mind, and to me, it worked. Having Meyer be the "editor" is another genius touch--similar to Doyle being the publisher of the "real" adventures of Holmes as chronicled by Watson. I found this to be more of a character study than a true puzzle that needed solving. The last third of the book was an intense chase scene on trains. We didn't even need Holmes to explain everything to us at the end like he usually does in the canon stories. The fun is in the history and the thoughts/actions of the characters themselves.
