A review by jennereads
The Italian Secretary by Caleb Carr

3.0

This is really more of a 3 1/2 stars. It started off slowly, but I grew to really like it. It's not even close to as good as The Alienist. And I guess that's okay. The plot is interesting and, even if Carr's Holmes and Watson did not come off as completely true to the originals, they are close enough not to feel distracting.
