My Review – Those familiar with Sherlock Holmes and the adventure of the dancing men and a the five orange Pips from Arthur Conan Doyle. Will quite familiar with the beginning of the story and in fact the main character it’s quite aware he is being portrayed and compared to in universe fictional detective.

There is the use of the n word again, but however it does not feel derogatory used in this context.

6/10
