peregrine13 's review for:

Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu: The Adventure of the Deadly Dimensions: Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu by Lois H. Gresh
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
  • Noticeable Americanisms in prose and dialogue from British characters (i.e 'dove' instead of 'dived') as well as other related  mistakes (naming aristocracy 'Lord X of [place] instead of Lord [place]) (minor issue)
  • Author phonetically writes out regional (non-RP) accents both in dialogue AND PROSE FROM POV OF THOSE CHARACTERS (and it's not even accurate) (major issue)
  • A non-Cthulu murder happens and there's no mystery for the readers: we are shown the murder first from the perspective of the victim and then the murderer (IN A HOLMES BOOK!!!) (THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW!!)
