A clever steampunk story where Sherlock Holmes is an automaton built by Mycroft. Sherman plots it well and the tale is filled with overt and subtle Holmes references, and the whole is quite light. For me, much of the English-ism - and Welsh-ism - sounded a little twee; for the latter, somewhat heavy on the "look you"s and sentence construction that verges on the Yoda-esque.

In The Great Detective, when Sir Arthur Cwmlech's home is robbed and the Illogic Engine--his prize invention--stolen, it is only natural that he and his clever assistant Miss Tacy Gof consult with another inventor, the great Mycroft Holmes, about who has taken it. But it is really Mr. Holmes' Reasoning Machine who they are there to see, for it is only fitting for one automaton to opine on a matter concerning the fate of another of its kind. This charming story by award-winning fiction writer Delia Sherman is a delightful romp set within an a slightly altered version of one of our most beloved literary universes.
