Things in Jars
by Jess Kidd
I really liked the premise of this story - a fantasy Sherlock Holmes with a rogue boxer ghost in his underwear as a stand-in for Watson. The mystery was mysterious. There were things in jars. There were very interesting characters. And then...it just didn't really go anywhere satisfactory. The overall tone was all over the place. It felt snarky and dark and then it turned to just plain dark with very little relief. I felt myself rushing to the end, not because I wanted to know what would happen next, but because I desperately needed the violence to end. I look forward to seeing where this author goes, but this didn't feel like a cohesive finished novel yet.
