Reggie and Nigel Heath are relatively close in age but worlds apart in personality. The older of the two brothers, Reggie is a successful attorney with charisma to spare. Nigel has always struggled to step out of his shadow. When Reggie leases space in an office building on London's Baker Street, he finds that the paperwork comes with an odd stipulation: his firm must receive and respond with a standard reply to letters sent to Sherlock Holmes, who had occupied the same famous address.

As far from Holmes as you can imagine
Revisado: 10-24-10
I didn't buy or listen to the book under the impression that it was a Sherlock Holmes-book, I've read the synopsis.
But how this book would have benefited from a holmsian touch. This is not a detective story - it's a story about a rich lawyer who just follows one clue, which leads to another clue and so on, and so on. After finishing the book I was amazed that the main character went through the entire ordeal without making a single major deduction. He goes to a place, talks to people who direct him to another place/person and so it goes.
So, if you like me was hoping for some classically inspired detective work, around the foggy streets of London - buy something else.
If you're after a book that could pass for the script for a B tv-movie set in California - this is for you.
