Query: Boredom Abounds

I've never read a Sherlock Holmes novel so if the excercise of this book was to get as close to the original as possible yet provide a new adventure for the old slueth and his fans, then I have no idea if the author accomplished his mission. But if I were reading this for pure entertainment, as I was, then I'd have to say that this book was a real yawner. The best thing to say about it was that it was relatively short. I just don't see Sherlock having any relevance in todays world. His deductive reasoning, his thinking process and jumps of reasoning are talked out with his sidekick Watson, and seem like self-fulfilled prophesies. He deduces it so it must be true. I'd like to see him be so wrong that the result is somebody close to him bites the bullet.
