The Baker Street Letters by Michael Robertson
2.0
I listened to this one on audiobook from the library and though I flew through it and found it to be an entertaining read, I was a little disappointed to be honest.
This book read as a normal mystery story and the Sherlockian aspects promised by the title and blurb were pretty much non-existent and the story wouldn't have been any different without them. I enjoyed some of the characters and the mystery was intriguing enough, though I feel that the conclusion to the whole thing was too rushed for my liking.
Overall, this felt a little silly and I couldn't really recommend it as I don't feel that this is a story that will be memorable at all. I am glad I read it as I am planning to read many books inspired by Sherlock Holmes this year but to be honest, this wasn't a great start.
