this was honestly one of the better books my book club chose, but the entire time i was reading it i was just struck with the fact that it would have worked so, so much better if it were not a take on sherlock holmes. really brought the book down when it easily could have stood on its own. all you have to do is make the names more subtle!!! it was really jarring every single time they brought up a holmes name and fully broke the immersion

not terrible though. i liked the character writing for janet
