This was really fun and creative. I’m a fan of anything Sherlock Holmes, so I was excited to find these books. I love that they are the decedents of Holmes and Watson and that they have the twos same traits but also their own. Fun story and can’t wait to see where the rest of the books go.

Second read for book committee.

Thinking high school only. Rape, drug use, underage drinking, murder, psychpath, put it there for me. Excellent, fun mystery that keeps one guessing until the end. Should appeal to quite a few students. 4 to 4.5/5.
