A review by crimsonsparrow
The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline by Nancy Springer

5.0

These books are positively delightful and only get better with each passing installment. While book one is, perhaps, unusual in its plot progression (and perhaps genre) the series really takes off as a fun tribute to both the cozy and the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, creating a delightful twist on the brilliant detective's family and career. Witty and thoroughly satisfying, I recommend the series to everyone who enjoys an intriguing, heartwarming read, a gutsy female lead, and a good laugh [at the expense of the patriarchy].

If you can get the audiobook, Katherine Kellgren's narration only accentuates all that is wonderful about these stories.
