Really liked to follow along the mysteries, as they are short-ish ones. The characters are based on Holmes and Watson but they are still different enough that I can say I like these in a different way than I like the other Holmes and Watson of this world. 

Beware of the explicit details of corpses. 

Didn't like how they introduced or used Doyle's trans identity. I'm picky about that so that might not disturb many. Thought it could have been introduced without the dead name, and for that dead name not to be used later on.


Also didn't like how there are two serial killers of women at the same time. There are Supernatural creatures, maybe they could have been killing men...

The friendship makes the novel, especially as the famous Sherlock Holmes mysteries may move the novel forward, but the mysteries themselves are not particularly interesting or engaging
