Product Description

Review

'Lane's writing is detailed, with scenes of exquisite terror: an underground chase, with Sherlock running from long-nailed children; a museum where he is attacked by a hawk with razors attached to its talons. This is a world of shadowy conspiracies and sinister groups who have agents everywhere; where the waiter might be a traitor, and nothing is what it seems. A hugely enjoyable treat for budding gumshoes.' --The Daily Telegraph

Product Description

Young Sherlock Holmes is back for his third fantastic adventure. Sherlock Holmes: think you know him? Think again.

By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
So far, I've picked up and enjoyed each of these wonderful new tales featuring a young Sherlock Holmes and to be honest they've been thrilling, there has been mystery and above all else a cool clear deductive mind solves the clues as they appear with tips of the hat to the original Conan Doyle texts.

What this, the third instalment, offers the reader is pretty much a lot of the same. The writing is crisp, the storyline addictive as well as well thought out and the characters evolve as new skills come to the fore for them all. Add to this a larger role for Mycroft in this tale and its one that was a lot of fun to read. My only criticism of this title is that it felt that it ended a little abruptly and transferred back to a familiar location almost as if a chapter or two had been cut from the story. All in it is fun but to have it end in such a way I felt was unfair to the reader who after traveling along with the Holmes' fir the full story deserved to meet one of Mycroft's contemporaries.

This book took me by surprise when I finished it, the story line was so amazing and Mycroft had a bigger role in the book too.

You really start to see Sherlock develop more into the character we know and love from the original books. Black Ice starts off like a Young Sherlock book and then turns into a canon style Sherlock book with the investigation of the crime scene and finding clues that the police couldn't find and the typical Sherlock deductions too but still keeps the feel of a Young Sherlock novel.

This book is the best in the series so far. Well done Andrew Lane for the brilliant series!

This is the third book in this series and, I think, the best so far...SO READ THIS BOOK!!!!....its sooooo good!!!

Sherlock begins the story in Hampshire, not far from Farnham. He is being taught more and more about the world by his tutor. He is more able to use his skills of deduction and this is nicely developed.

He is then thrown into turmoil by the arrest of his brother, Mycroft, and a new adventure begins......

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I feel that the author is nicely leading us to an adult Holmes by developing Sherlocks view of he world and explaining where his amazing skills came from.

In this part of the series Sherlock travels to Russia and learns to distrust people a little bit more....he also begins to learn to banish his feelings when necessary..... I liked how this was put into the story as it explains how he becomes colder as an adult.....although, obviously Holmes is also really caring about others and the world, as is Sherlock..... but he has to learn self reliance...to grow up, if you will......

The story is a fast paced adventure of secret police, murder, imprisonment, Tsarist Russia and actors!!

So READ THIS BOOK!!!!......ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD........

(... AND I look forward to learning more about the ever present Mrs.Eglantine in the next book)........
