The teenage sherlock holems paired with teenager girl version of Watson? yes please, when i was young i really love detective story, and i admired Sherlock Holmes so much but i have not read any classical detective story for a long time and when i heard there is a book retelling Sherlock holmes with teenager as the main characters and the probability of best friend romance make me picked this up immadiately. At first i have kind of hard time with the english, and later on the english that made me love this book even more! it was refreshing and added new vocabularies for me. the story is about Rachel or "Watt" who moved from country to Mellbourne for her family to work and made new life, she really hated the city and waiting for her 18 birthday so she could leave it and live on her own. she befriend with her neighbour, eccentric genius boy who continiously endangered himself, Mycroft (i should restrain myself calling him Mycrosoft LOL). Just like Sherlock holmes, Mycroft befriend with various people that included Dave the beggar who always hang out near the zoo when Mycroft and Watt found him died with his throat sliced, Mycroft will not let the killer get away. He and his partner, Watt together they tried to found out who the killer is and what his/her motive is even it made them in very dangerous situation. Having read many books included ridiculously rich people, its very refreshing to read book when the two main characters both having financial problem, it feels real for me when the main character are thinking twice when they spend their money (as often broke university student i could totally related -_- )
