Of Holmes homage.
The inimitable Sherlock Holmes returns! King’s new take on the history of Sherlock Holmes, this time with a fifteen-year-old girl as a partner, is witty, inventive, and utterly enjoyable from start to finish. King deftly creates an underworld of villainy and a sleuthing duo worthy of Doyle himself.
I loved everything about this book. I immediately opened the second one upon finishing this. Yes, it's basically fanfic, but it's great stuff.

I’m not sure this author is a mystery author. This book is not a detective novel but rather a novel about detectives. The romantic and sexual tension between the 19 year old Mary Russel and the authors version of her teacher Sherlock Holmes is the main story and as a younger reader I’d have adored this novel.
