Critic reviews

"The real revelation is Nicholas Briggs's performance as Holmes. Confident and assured, yet understated, and shot through with just the right amount of emotion, bravado and eccentricity, Briggs has delivered one of the definitive portrayals of the character...along with Rathbone, Brett and Lewellyn." (Mass Movement Magazine)

"From Baker Street to Devon (and Baskerville Hall), The Tangled Skein hurtles along at an unholy pace, twisting and turning it’s way to the final battle between Dracula and Holmes. Nicholas Briggs and Richard Earl are as reliable as ever as Holmes and Watson, and leap into the story with gusto and bravado...." (Mass Movement Magazine)

"The Hound is nail-bitingly exciting, as it should be, and the same can be said of The Tangled Skein, adapted by Richard Dinnick from David Stuart Davies’s sequel - which also completely rewrites the story of Dracula. For full-blooded gothic excitement this pair would be hard to beat." (The Sherlock Holmes Journal)

Pretty Disappointed

Without giving spoilers, this Sherlock holmes tale veers away from the type of resolution and deduction I would expect from the detective and doctor.
