3.5⭐️A fine premise, a suitably tangled mystery, and likeable enough characters. I like the take on Holmes and Watson, but something was lacking. Not lacking enough to dissuade me from reading it in one sitting, but just short of being truly compelling. I docked a .5⭐️ because of the authors instance on including the almost mandatory bemoaning of wearing corsets as being a vain and universally painful experience 🙄 when the rest of the book rests in decent research the least they could have done is look beyond the ‘corsets are evil’ line touted since it became fashionable to do so.
