A review by madgirl
Death by Silver by Amy Griswold, Melissa Scott

4.0

The comparison of this book to Sherlock Holmes was what inspired me to read it (well, that, and my fondness for Lethe), though I was quickly pleased that the similarity is actually fairly superficial and this story goes far beyond that. Though it is still a tale of a great partnership (that, yes, is romantic as well) as well as a gripping mystery. The two main characters especially are very well drawn and fully realized, with a nice gradual reveal of some childhood incidents that helped shaped them. And the backdrop of the world, a sort of gaslight urban fantasy, is an interesting one. I would really look forward to move stories in this world.
