It is, as Holmes himself might say, balderdash and codswallop. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Sep 8, 2015
Clunes is a terrific Doyle who remains, with all his complexities and contradictions, as fascinating a character as Sherlock Holmes. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian Sep 8, 2015
It has been translated sympathetically and successfully to the screen, with fine performances. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com Mar 24, 2016

... a fascinating historical tale, unfortunately with some slow scenes, some unnecessary blood and guts and some one-dimensional characters. Nevertheless, I'm recommending it, despite those caveats. Go to Full Review Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News Sep 8, 2015
The mystery itself is compelling enough, especially in light of the fact that it is based on actual events that eventually led to a major change in British law. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
