So, I decided to dive into this because I was intrigued by the idea of a "female Sherlock Holmes." But, here's the twist—I’m not really a Holmes aficionado to begin with, so perhaps this was doomed from the start for me.

Lady Molly, our brilliant sleuth, was supposed to dazzle with her detective skills and charm. However, I found her cases and deductions didn’t quite ignite the mystery-loving bonfire in my heart. The stories felt a bit dated and lacked the suspense or clever twists I crave in a good detective yarn.

While I appreciate the attempt to bring a formidable female detective to the forefront, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. If you're a Holmes fan, you might have a different take. As for me, I'll be paging through other mystery shelves for my next fix.
