Here is what has been said: "Mr. Radek certainly has learned the Holmes experience and has been able to duplicate it in a great and original novel. Not only that, but he must also be very knowledgeable about music, specifically the violin and the orchestra. So, while we read about Holmes solving another mystery, we also get acquainted with some of the inner workings of the world of music. You will revel in the part Holmes plays in both! You will appreciate deeply how someone who has been bowed low can be brought back to life again, through the friendship and care of someone who truly understands the human heart. It is not to be missed!" "This intriguingly convoluted novel brings back Sherlock Holmes on a great new adventure. Those of us who have read everything Sherlock by Conan Doyle will be happy they picked this one up. They will be transported to the London of Holmes and Watson and follow this new mystery. You know the rest--Holmes and Watson solve this seemingly unresolvable theft with their usual panache. Mr Radek has obviously done his research and has achieved a worthy addition to the Holmes canon. I really enjoyed reading"The Problem of the Singular Stradivarius." If you buy this novel, I think you'll be enjoyably impressed, too."
