Sherlock Holmes Solo Mysteries

Does anyone have any experience with this series? I came across a few of them and was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts or reviews of them. They certainly look intriguing.

All of them have been reviewed on gamebooks.org: gamebooks.org/Series/389/Show

I've played a few of them. They're well written and pretty cleverly designed in my experience though I find them a bit too reliant on dice rolls at times (for some reason I don't mind dice rolls as a substitute for physical feats like combat but they bug me when used for more cerebral stuff).

I agree with what Kieran said. Holmes' reasons for leaving the investigation to you are a bit flimsy in some of the books, too, but the dependence on the dice is the biggest flaw.
