Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King
3.0
I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes stories. He was one of the people that influenced me into my love of mystery novels. The way that he and Watson would go about solving a crime was great. I would try to pick up the clues and solve the mystery before Sherlock did but I never quite could do it. I remember once finding a whole collection of stories that my mom had and I read that book for days. IT has been a long, long time since I have read a Sherlock book. I did not even know about this series until I had the chance to read this book.
Because I have not read the other books in this series, I have not built up a close relationship to Mary and Sherlock together. Although I do think that tehy do make a good couple and are a good working pair. Just trying to get used to them together as I do Holmes and Watson. The first part of this book. It is broken into sections was dull. I almost wanted to give up on the book but because of my love to Sherlock I decided to stick with it a bit longer. Howver I have to say that 96 pages of nothingness is really hard to get through.
I am happy to say that the book did get better as I got futher into it. Yet it was a lot of talkng and just middle of teh road for me. The author did do good though with trying to keept true to Sherlock with the way he spoke and processed a case. Yet I just could not fully immerse myself into the book. I found at times due to the slow pacing of the story that I would skimm parts but not miss anything doing this.
