The House of Silk would be a good read for those who are fans of Sherlock Holmes. Anthony Horowitz was authorized by the Arthur Conan Doyle estate to continue the series and his writing style is reminiscent of Doyle's original works. The story is set in Victorian England and follows Holmes and Watson as they investigate the mysterious House of Silk. The most unique feature of the book is that it stays true to the original Doyle characterizations while also delivering a fresh new story.
