I thought this book was delightful. Is it high art? Not at all. Is it a delightful reimagining of Sherlock Holmes? Absolutely. I loved that the book didn't take itself too seriously, delighting in the outlandish changes to the original script. I also love that this story, while it has the same general outline, has created their own version of Watson and Holmes to totter about this period urban fantasy world. The writing style reminds me a bit of A. Lee Martinez, who I love.
