This novel is best described as the answer to the question ?What would have happened if Count Dracula had run into Sherlock Holmes before the events described in Bram Stoker?s 'Dracula?'?
Doctor Watson receives a note from his niece, Mina, while he and Holmes were returning from an investigation in Romania made at the request of Her Majesty?s Government. As Mina and her husband lived in Budapest, Holmes and Watson were able to stop over on their way back to London. Mina told them that her husband, Janos, a lawyer, had disappeared while making a visit to a client in Transylvania and was long overdue. Holmes and Watson begin their investigation in Budapest and events proceed from there.
Of course, this story requires that Holmes dispense with his ?No ghosts wanted here? rule and bizarre events come in from all directions. Wolves, bats and shadow creatures abound, with most of the action taking place in Budapest. Janos? cousin Lucy and her fiancé become involved and many of the events take place at or near the Asylum run by her father, Dr. Westenra.
Unfortunately, the action is a bit slow moving and the characters are relatively flat, so I did not enjoy the story. For people who wish to take the vampires of Bram Stoker?s imagination seriously, this book may hold more appeal than it did for me. I also missed the Holmes of the Canon with Dr. Watson marveling at his deductions and the police being confounded by his insights. The police in this tale are co-operative, Watson spends most of his time in deep dread and Holmes is busy reading old texts of doubtful use at every available moment.
This book does have the advantage of good editing. I found only a few, minor errors in spelling and usage.
