I went into this with low expectations, I just picked the audiobook from the ones I had available because the narrator seemed alright. I ended up enjoying this very much! If you like Pride and Prejudice and you like Sherlock Holmes, you will probably enjoy this too. The characters were interesting and complex, they brought a lot of life to the story and added more to the stakes. Lily is a great protagonist, not just a gender-flipped Sherlock Holmes, she has her own personality and tendencies. The author did a good job of illustrating how quick witted she is, while also giving the reader enough information to keep up with Lily and feel satisfied by her realizations and how she handles a situation.
