Oh dear. My writer pal who also writes Sherlock Holmes stories insisted I read some. I did and this was one of them. Oh yes, Hall knows his background BUT....but... why can't people who wish to be writers create. Fiction is just that, a made up story. You don't pinch other people's work and use it. Kids do that or those besotted fans.

To me it is just a money making scheme, like the Jane Austen explosion. She sells. Sherlock Holmes sells so write a story using their created work. I just don't call it real writing.
