4.0

A retelling of S. Holmes & Dr. Watson in an alternate reality/near future setting where the protagonists are two black women in the WA DC area. Gritty and dark, with a close look at what returning soldiers of war endure when they don't fit into society (PTSD, disability, etc). The characters are intriguing while the story is kind of clunky at times, like it needed another round of edits. Still, I liked this a lot and looking forward to the next.
