A Biased Judgement: The Sherlock Holmes Diaries 1897 by Geri Schear
5.0
As with every book that takes Holmes by the road of romance, I approached this one with caution *laughs*
But I really, really liked it. Probably because: one, Sherlock Holmes is still him, he stays the man we all know and love; and two, Lady Beatrice is a very good character, a smart, strong lady with a very defined set of ideas about what she wants from life.
Having the story told from Holmes' POV was a great way to present it. I just love how skillfully and yet, subtly he writes about his emotions; it's simply perfect :D
And the mystery and the conspiracy's plots are concise and tightly written; interesting and compelling.
I will be searching for more stories by this author, that's for sure.
