A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
4.0
in short: thoroughly enjoyable, and I look forward to seeing how this spiral of characters unwinds in the next book.
At more length--this adaptation succeeds, I think, in large part because it does not try to be a direct correlation. Rather, it seems to me more as if Thomas took the idea of a female Sherlock and, instead of adapting the surrounding characters to an opposite gender but remarkably similar identity, she looked at the relationships in the original and extrapolated to from that point.
This works much better, I think, and was a delight to read. I am ESPECIALLY fond of Watson (and Watson's dynamic with Holmes!) and look forward to more of their adventures.
