I loved this book! I think that this was such an awesome retelling for the Sherlock Holmes universe. I’m a pretty big fan (I’ve read some of the tales, watched the BBC tv show, and some of the movies) and Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favorite things.

So when I heard about this I was super excited. And I’m not disappointed. The romance and friendship between Jamie and Charlotte is absolutely adorable, and I thought that the characters were quite likable (even though Charlotte was an asshole at times)

The mystery was thrilling but it dragged on a little to long for me. This book could have easily been 40-50 pages shorter and I would have probably given it 5 stars.

It was a fun mystery (which is something I don’t pick up a lot) and I’m definitely gonna continue when my copy of ‘The Last August’ comes in!
