By Irene Yang

It's always interesting to see a case that affects not only one person but also the sensitive balance of a whole country. In the shadow of World War I, the story takes place. This was a time when secrets were powerful and one scandal could shake British society to its core. At the center of it all is a bright detective with a very sharp mind whose job it is to find out the truth about a plot to blackmail a powerful person in the country and bring them down. As the chase goes on, the tension gradually rises as each clue reveals another layer of lies. I was completely engrossed in the game.

What I loved most about the story was how it mixed thought and feeling. The detective is very good at noticing things and coming to conclusions. But every choice he or she makes is also based on kindness and a real sense of urgency. The relationships, especially those with trusted friends and family, give the story more depth and make the puzzle feel even more personal. There are lots of vivid details that bring Baker Street to life, and the setting during the war adds a unique sense of danger and drama.

It's the perfect pace, with just the right amount of drama to keep me on edge without making the complicated plot too much to handle. The writing is clear, draws you in, and makes references to the old mystery stories that it was based on. It still feels new and interesting, though. I really liked how the story paid tribute to the memory of a famous detective while also making its own identity.

When all the parts of the puzzle were finally put together, I was happy, but also a little sad to leave this world. This is the kind of story that stays with you after you finish reading it. This book is a must-read for anyone who likes detective stories with a lot of depth, mood, and historical drama.
