So pulpy. Personal preference for this genre is H. Rider Haggard, but I felt like I had to read something of this type. Some of the investigations are a bit predictable. I did enjoy that he wasn’t always successful. Kept me guessing a bit. New appreciation for the British rendition with Cumberbatch and Freeman and new dislike for Downey Jr’s rendition, Jude Law not withstanding. Honestly makes it criminal Hugh Laurie had to drop his accent in House though. Whoever wrote that show had the DSM in one hand and Sherlock Holmes in the other. Cultural keystone and now I can say I read some at least so I’m not “that guy.”
