Murder by Death

I'm going to use one of my dad's favourite sayings and call this one fair to middling. 

On the surface it should have been a guaranteed-to-please-me read: I'm intrigued by Wilde, Conan Doyle is one of only a couple of people I'd go back in time to meet, and the it's a ghost story set on the moors.  In spite of all of this, I remained nothing but an indifferent observer from start to finish; I failed to connect with Wilde or Doyle, and the ghosts failed to thrill.  Additionally, the twisty part of the plot was something I saw coming from the start, although how Doyle got there at the end was so twisty and convoluted, I'm still not sure I get how he did it.

He did totally pull one over on me regarding the Count though; did not see that one coming.

This is the first of a series, but I doubt I'll be searching out the second one.
