This is a very attractive book... What makes the book quite pleasing to Sherlock Holmes aficionados is that the story is slotted neatly into the sequence of original Holmes stories... It is clear that a great deal of thought has gone not only into the puzzles but also into the storyline, which is genuinely intriguing, and more than just a framing device. ... As I hope this review makes clear, I really enjoyed working through this book, and I recommend it highly. --Mathematics Today If you feel as if your brain is shrivelling under the restraints of COVID regulations, this could be the solution toward keeping those little grey cells active. . . . There are codes, ciphers, riddles and red herrings, plus a Hieroglyphic Code Wheel set into the cover to assist you in your quest. . . . Many of the objects described can still be seen in the British Museum and the map provided is based on a genuine floor plan of the Museum from this period. --Sherlock Holmes Journal on The Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: Adventure of the British Museum
