I started this book last night because I‘m participating in the #pastichebr with the #litsyirregulars book club and I don‘t know what to think about this book. I‘ve never read this author before but it feels like it was written in the same style as the Sherlock Holmes stories. I liked the stories but I don‘t know if I like this or not. Maybe it‘s because I‘m comparing this to the stories but it‘s hard not to compare them.

Well, Sherlockians, as Holmes would say, “The game is afoot.“ Time to read some pastiches! We'll have a quick check-in on 10/30 just to see what we're all thinking, then a discussion of the whole book on 11/30. Any and all are welcome to join; just let me know if you'd like to be added to the list

Seriously, the Yorkshire Police literally learned NOTHING from the Jack the Ripper case and botched the investigation. Then when they all got reassigned or forced out, the wined about it and one guy sold his story for big bucks. 🙄 Of course, how about “mad man on the loose after women” means men get a curfew instead of the women? Nope, it‘s always the women. Well, UK women were not having it.
so-soThis mystery plot dragged a bit and was rather convoluted. I much prefer the previous Holmes and Watson novel I read by this author. (See my previous post.) I do like her portrayal of Holmes and Watson, though.

pickJust finished this. Loved it. I'll read her other Sherlock Holmes novels, of which there are at least two more.

pickI am so sad this is the last book in the series!
Mycroft seeks revenge and builds up relationships that will serve him well as he moves in the world of power, but he is at his wits ends when it comes to his brother. Their two cases come to a surprising connection and Mycroft starts to accept Sherlock as he is with help from friends and life lessons.
4.5/5 read for a diverse and really interesting Sherlock tale focused on his first case
@kspenmoll I can't thank you enough for the lovely get-well package. The books are right up my mystery alley (especially the SHERLOCK one, which I haven't read 😱) and will keep my mind busy. The pens are perfect for the lovely journal. The LUCY mug is sooo meee! (I called myself “Crabby Abbe“ as a teacher!) and the post card is hysterical. What brought me to my, though, were the worry dolls. I had no idea how much I needed them. 😅 ⬇️
