I had so much fun with this book!
This follows our main protagonist Florian Bates, a young boy who is just like Sherlock Holmes, as he moves to D.C. with his parents, and gets swept up in helping to solve an art heist.
I always tend to love books like this, so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this one. I loved Florian's character a lot and adored Margaret as well (really I loved the entire cast of characters, let's be honest). There were dual mysteries Florian was trying to solve - the art heist and finding Margaret's birth parents and the way those both unfolded was very interesting and overall well-done. I had a few minor quibbles with some things, but not enough to truly detract from my enjoyment.
All in all, a fantastic book and I'm definitely looking forward to picking up the next one!
