Enjoyable mysteries - still don't think they're written at a middle grade level. The author seems to think themselves very clever by throwing in some obscure vocabulary and/or items from the time period. Some of it is fun but other times it's just strange, like a person who just tries to prove how much more they know about something than others. However, that's a small, picky thing. Overall, they're solid, enjoyable mysteries and I will read every one. 

I love this new side of Sherlock that's being built in this series and Enola is a great character. Each novel brings in some new, interesting bit of culture - though in this one it could have been handled with more care with the cultural differences re gypsies.
