Fun! Perfectly delightful. I think this novella opens up space for more stories. Lovely!

A cute little snippet into the romantic relationship between Mary and Holmes and the decisions they make once they've decided to get married. It's a rate intimate glance into their relationship and quite nice to read.

More annoying were the overt hints about Mrs Hudson's 'mysterious' nature. I understand the place of this novella in the series but it felt rather ham fisted.

I am so glad that she wrote this short story. It was the perfect length to pull in details from the end of book #2 in this series, and to add the few days before the wedding. I LOVED all the tiny details, just how hilarious the put together wedding was, and I loved seeing how much Holmes actually does care about Russell. Definitely worth a read.

Quick short story about the wedding of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. Puts a smile on your face in a Russell type of way.

A short story that delivers exactly what the title conveys. I enjoyed reading this as I missed it the first time around. I liked the humor that comes through in a subtle way.

Classic Russell and Holmes - I wish more of the full-length novels later in the series had this same charm!
