Librarybelle I think I would wonder what exactly all of the excitement about Holmes was if I had not read anything prior… 6d

eeclayton @Librarybelle I agree that it's not the best starting point for a new reader. 6d

dabbe This story is usually close to last or dead last as far as favorite SH stories for readers. To start with this one would have been horrific, especially since the POV was so different; all of the personal touches are absent from this one without our Watson, and he basically acts like a dummy in this one with hardly a role to play at all.

Also, where the hell did Billy the page boy come from? That was another #thingsthatmakeyougohmm 6d

CogsOfEncouragement Oh, good question. This story does feel like it is meant for someone who has been reading about SH and W for some time. I didn't consider that too much until just now. 6d

Starting this tonight. I feel like one of the “cool” kids reading something everyone else seems to be 😂 I‘m not sure it‘ll be my jam but I‘m gonna give it a go!
And btw, how does one of THE most popular books on #Litsy not have a cover photo attached? #thingsthatmakeyougohmm

The Wrong Girl | Hank Phillippi Ryan

An epiphany: We hear/read this often, that there are no coincidences when it comes to crimes. Interestingly, I've noticed that in the same books where the fictional detectives spout this philosophy, those same detectives happen to be in the right place at the right time, an awful lot of the time. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
