I debated hard about 3, 3.5 or 4 stars. I really did. IT MATTERS...at least to this book worm it does.
3.5 Stars.

As much as I love retelling, reimaginings, do overs, loosely based on, etc etc whatever whatever..I realized I had never read anything based on Sherlock save the originals. I don't know how this happened. So I was perhaps somewhat guarded as I read this. I don't know why.

With that being said I didn't hate it at all. I wasn't sure how Sherlock and Watson-y the author was going to get with great great great grandchildren of the OG sleuthing duo....so maybe that's why I didn't want to get attached. You know..in case i hated the shit out of this book. I appreciated the crimes in this first book. A nice nod to the originals.
