stephanpthorne 's review for:
The Deathsniffer's Assistant
by Kate McIntyre
First. This is a great book, it kept me hooked through the entire book (I wavered a little after I figured out the killer, but wanted to see how it played out).
Olivia is such a wonderful character. a great change on the Holmes trope. If anything, the POV felt, at times, a bit weak. His heroes journey was a bit forced too.
The mystery itself was great, although I feel McIntyre wrote herself into a corner toward the end of the second act where she pointed a light on the killer by forcing the characters not to think of them in their investigations.
Love the magic system, fits the setting very well. Can't wait to see more of the world!
