Every Breath
by Ellie Marney
This teenage detective novel uses references to Sherlock Holmes lore as a fun, irreverent way to establish her genre. Rachel Watts and James Mycroft live two doors down from each other ever since Rachel's family left their bankrupt farm.
I like the way we were thrown in this friendship four months in and not treated to how they got to be friends. They just are, and we accept that. Mycroft is a genius with a damaged psyche and Rachel's practical nature is the best thing for him.
When one of Mycroft's friends is murdered, the pair stumble into solving the crime (although not so much with the stumble, more the determination of a boy who has already seen too much death, and who needs to make order from chaos).
This is tense, exciting and quite humorous. The romance doesn't overwhelm the mystery, but it's there, for which I am grateful. These two truly care for each other. It's grand.
Highly recommended.
