The danger in writing a review of anything Sherlock Holmes related -- book, movie, DVD, video game, board game, card game, con game, action figures, play sets, makeup kits, mobile phones, meerschaum pipes, drain snakes or home chemistry sets -- is the temptation to lapse into cliched references to the great detective.
