Mini-Review: I enjoyed this, although I'd say it's definitely on the medium to slow side with pacing. The writing was beautiful and I loved the characters, but I did find certain parts to almost be reminiscent of grooming. Different times, but this was still written in the 90s so just be aware of that if you plan on reading it.

Mary Russell - Florence Pugh
Sherlock Holmes - Paul McGann
Dr. John Watson - Bradley Walsh
Mycroft Holmes - Joe McGann
Mrs. Hudson - Phoebe Nicholls
