Loved this book! It’s an alternate Origin Story of Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Very creative idea.
Having lately watched a show called “Big Little Lies” my #1 complaint was that I didn’t like any of the characters. The mystery wasn’t enough to make it a good series (for me). So the fact that I picked this up next and enjoyed it for the VERY THING I’d wanted—loveable characters AND plot—is pretty cool.
It’s not a 5/5 because the prose will knock your socks off or the story’s never been done. It’s 5/5 because it’s a solid story and I can see anything it lacks and I’d read it again. I’m disappointed that book 2 isn’t out yet!
