A review by tehani
The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard

5.0

Though I've not read much Sherlock Holmes, I am a fan of all the new media versions over the past several years, and I really enjoyed this novella. It's a clever and well-devised offering, and one that makes me want to dive into more of de Bodard's work. My one complaint would be the misuse of "deduct" instead of "deduce" in several instances - I don't believe this is a regional variation, though I might be wrong, but it bothered me enough to highlight in my Kindle edition and kept knocking me out of the otherwise excellent reading experience! Regardless of this, I highly recommend the book.
