The Mimicking of Known Successes

I liked it but it wasn't that interesting.
There are 3 main stories in this.
The romance one was pleasant and had a good ending.
The Holmseian mystery was well done and the Holmes and Watson analogs were believable
and clever
The SF part of the book was less satisfying.
It took too long for the structure of the world and how it came to be to be explained.
And the events at the end seemed to be very important and bad for the characters but I couldn't see what the problem was.
So while I liked it and people should take a look at it, I don't think I'll be reading any others if they come along.
