I was ambivalent about the first book in this series (thought it had a trick ending and like the author maybe used the MC’s neurodivergence only when it was convenient to the plot). So I have no idea why I was so quick to read the sequel but I am glad I did, it was a better book. Loved the mystery, loved the characters, really enjoyed the listening experience.

I really enjoy this series, a sort of paranormal Sherlock Holmes set in a fictional version of New England in whatever is the American version of the Victorian age. This book (like the first) started slow but about halfway through became nearly un-put-downable.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I have never wanted to write fiction, but this book made me want to write anything. It is like a (sarcastic, funny) love letter to writing.
