The Devil's Grin
by Annelie Wendeberg
Per any other Holmes fan or more defined, a female fan, I usually casually seek out a Holmes pastiche in hopes that they aren't that bad as well as seeking out a female equal. And I must say that in my honest opinion, Anna is a small step above Mary Russel but both require a desperate connection to Holmes. I was far more impressed with Carole Nelson Douglas' Irene Adler. Granted, it still includes a male character but she knew not to seek Holmes as a romantic interest amongst other positive points, including questioning Doyle as an author. My only other negative is that I was unable to read the book for sometime and felt I lost the story but while there were some nice positives here, I don't see myself re-reading this for a better overall perspective. My main problem is that I did feel that I had to push a little bit to finish the story.
