Three short stories following Moriarty as a consultant to fellow criminals. What a fantastic premise with near unlimited possibilities.
Although it had some interesting ideas, I found the stories fairly one note and straightforward with few unforeseen twists or any of the surprises a story of this type sets you up to expect.
Moriarty has really no personality of his own (nor do any of the character for that matter) and instead he and his narrator-companion have the fairly boring rehashing of the Holmes/Watson dynamic we see all over the case of the week crime TV.
