I felt the same as you did about this. I also did the audio and think that I zoned out in a couple of places. I know that it is an ongoing popular series, but in future books (view spoiler)
Ah, crap! I thought the spoiler was for this book! It wasn't! I suppose it doesn't really matter. I wasn't going to continue this series... except that it turns out the print book I have is a later one in the series. Unfortunately, much later. I usually read series in order. I thought I'd still read the print book I have, but we'll see. I might, anyway. So, maybe the spoiler is good for me to know, since the print book is so much later, and I know I won't be reading all the others in between if I do decide to still read the print one I have. (I think it was a gift... ?)
Yikes --- sorry, I didn't mean to ruin anything, I edited my post to make it clearer......I haven't read any future books but I know I read on a back blurp (view spoiler)
Ah, if it was hinted, I missed it! :-) No worries, except for discovering the print book I have is a later book in the series, I wasn't going to continue! I certainly am not going to read them all, even if I do decide to read the one I have, so it may have been a shock had I opened that one to discover it! LOL!
Mary Russell is 15-years old when she meets a “retired” Sherlock Holmes. They find they have similar styles in deduction, so they team up to solve mysteries. At some point, it seems that someone is trying to kill people associated with Holmes (or maybe Holmes, himself?)
I listened to the audio (though I’m not sure reading it would have made a difference) and I often lost interest. I just didn’t find it very interesting, but that seems to be par for the course for me and Sherlock Holmes. I really should give up on him (Conan Doyle’s Holmes or otherwise), but I think I have a book in print that features him, so I’ll probably read that, but that may be the end of my trying Holmes, as I just don’t seem to enjoy any of his stories, including this one.
