Awards/获奖情况：At the beginning of this follow-up to the thoroughly entertaining The Strange Return of Sherlock Holmes (2010)--in which Holmes, having been thawed out of a Swiss glacier and restored to life, paired up with a journalist, James Wilson, to solve a modern-day murder--the great detective is feeling a bit underappreciated. No one in this twenty-first-century world seems to need his special deductive powers and keen observational skills ("the same result," he bemoans, "can now be accomplished through sheer technology," like finding out where someone has been by using a GPS tracker). But then fortune smiles upon Holmes. The niece of one of Wilson’s friends has a most interesting puzzle: someone has stolen a rare and almost certainly genuine letter written by William Shakespeare, and she desperately needs to find out who and why. So begins an adventure, written in the spirit of Conan Doyle’s original Holmes stories, that will captivate fans of the world’s greatest consulting detective. Grant (a pseudonym) is a skilled storyteller, giving Wilson a narrative voice that reminds us of Dr. Watson, without ever parodying him. A first-class sequel and, readers will hope, merely the second of a long series of novels. --Booklist Starred Review, 15th November 2010
