As this is the first in this series that I have read it seems a bit slow and seemed like it could be a shorter book. But I did enjoy it in the end and will go back and read it from the beginning.
Mary and Sherlock travel to San Fransisco where Mary lived. They investigate the deaths of her parents, and it seems someone is trying to get rid of Mary as well. The story is told both in the voice of Mary and the voice of Sherlock. Making some of it a bit redundant. About halfway through the book picks up and really ramped up at the end. Which would make it a 3.5 star read for me.
