"As together with her first Holmes novel (see THE big name OF INDIA), Carole Bugge captures the essence of the period in her most recent story, THE HAUNTING OF TORRE ABBEY. the tale line is pleasing and enthusiasts of the nice detective will appreciate a go back to the recognized moors. although every now and then, Ms. Bugge permits her love for Watson and Holmes to permeate the story, either charcaters are good designed and remain inside of Arthur Conan Doyle's blueprint. Readers who appreciate extra novels starring Holmes and Watson will locate Ms. Bugge's homage a triumph."
