Oh I do like this one, this is what I want from my Sherlock Holmes, a sneaky little murder mystery to be solved all set inside a rickety old manor that oozes foreboding as our protagonists walk up the path. A manor that has secret chambers, creaking floorboards, creaking servants, the mystery basement, and of course the impending glee of knowing Holmes & Watson are thrust into a dastardly murder mystery in this creepy place.

Whilst still set during WWII, this outing for Holmes and Watson is less to do with Nazis and more to do with good old-fashioned greed. Set in a stately home that is being used as a home for convalescing officers; our pair of sleuths are asked to investigate after one of Dr. Watson's patients there dies in mysterious circumstances. This is a welcome return to the more traditional storylines associated with Conan-Doyle and, as such, makes for a much better story. There is also a little humour, with Halliwell Hobbes great as the slightly (permanently) sozzled butler.
