Review: The Empty Birdcage (Mycroft Holmes and Sherlock, #3)
Gaby Meares
This was fun! The authors have done a fine job of emulating Conan Doyle’s writing style and recreating Victorian Britain. It’s hard to visual Sherlock Holmes as a nineteen year old youth (I kept seeing Jeremy Brett in my head!) and Mycroft with a full head of blonde hair! This is not high art and the two crimes being investigated aren’t particularly memorable, but it is one of the better Holmes’ pastiches that abound on the bookshelves and a pleasant distraction from our current world health crisis.
