The Baker Street Letters by Michael Robertson

3.0

A satisfying enough mystery though there's a distressing lack of realistic roadblocks. Reg, in spite of a lack of detective experience, seems to have a superhuman ability to unearth and translate clues as well as enough money to do whatever he needs to do. In spite of being a suspect in two murders, he's able to come and go between two countries with little to no pushback from authorities. The bodies pile up without much concern for those who died, and we're supposed to care an awful lot about two privileged gentleman detectives without much introduction to them at all. Still, it's easy to read, and the plot unfolds in such a way to keep readers interested and guessing until the end. I'm not sure yet if I'm invested enough in the characters to continue with the series, but the premise is an intriguing one.
