The Abduction of Pretty Penny by Leonard Goldberg

adventurous dark informative mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Finally. This one hits the mark with the mystery, character development, and of course, the continued detailed descriptions of all things pathology and medical. 
 
Another mystery solved by the combined declared genius of Sherlock’s daughter, with the now predictable help of the dog’s nose and without any help from her predictably unhelpful documenting husband. 
 
Again. 
 
But anyways, more entertaining this time because of the intriguing subject matter (a revisit attempt to solve the ole Jack the Ripper case, which of course, Joanna does without much difficulty because she is a chain-smoking genius). 
 
Some things are becoming familiar in a cosy sort of delightful way you’d expect a WWI context Sherlock-type mystery might be. A better than good read. I’ve accidentally skipped book #4, so I’ll have to go back and pick that one up, but to be honest, I never noticed.
