A review by critterbee
The Dark Lady by Irene M. Adler
2.0
I enjoy Sherlock Holmes, and have read all of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes stories, watched several versions of Holmes on film and TV (and am equally judgy about them, too!) have read stories by people trying to emulate Doyle's style, and even read books about alternate Sherlock types. In the grand stew of Sherlock, this was not very satisfying to me.
This is written to be a middle reader, but is lacking in the fun department. It is too staid for a children's book, but too juvenile for an adult read. It was not offensively bad, just meh. I could not finish the book, and am not interested in the rest of the series.
I am very picky about my Holmes. Not recommended.
