I also quite liked the overarching story surrounding the circumstances of the death of Sherlock’s Mother – was it suicide? Murder? Medical neglect? There is no clear answer from the get-go, and it’ll take various investigations and deductions before you even remotely start to piece together what really happened. That’s the hook out of the way, so what did I think of the story as a whole? First of all, I really like the depth of the writing in these cases – every single main quest and side case had an intriguing setup that I was eager to explore, and the various murders and other crimes you have to solve are each treated with the same respect and complexity. Jon is still there with you … not quite the John Watson that you’d recognise, but a figment of Sherlock’s imagination that aids him when solving cases. He has returned to his childhood home as a young man – years before becoming the Great Detective we’re used to – in order to uncover the mystery of his mother’s death, so seeing a younger Holmes take the reigns was a welcome creative choice. The story takes place on Cordona, an island that is central to Sherlock’s family history.
