This books was everything I wanted it to be and more. If you are a fan of Sherlock x Watson this book is for you. There is a lot of dark themes in this book so make sure to check the content warnings before diving in. 

I found the characters so loveable and I felt really immersed in the story. I am so glad that it is a series and will continue to read it.

karenmsecrest's review against another edition

Quit the Audiobook 2.5 hours in. The narration is first person and Jamie Watson is British… but the male narrator is America with no British accent. I got too distracted by Watson’s narration and never made it to Julia Whelan’s chapters.  

Love the concept, but:

• Not sure this is a YA book? Drug abuse, Oxi injections, references to sexual assault. Maybe it’s YA the same way Veronica Mars is YA?
• At times, the Holmes/Watson references are clunky. 
• The line “Great great great great grandfather” could be a drinking game. Counted at least 8 instances in the first third.
