2018 update: I wrote a terribly-worded review when I finished this book for my Victorian Literature class. It was a roundabout review basically saying that there are very distinct and interesting characters that drive this book, which keep you interested in what they're doing and where the story is going.
Very fun read. I have some general complaints about the way the “mystery” unfolds, but for it being the first detective novel, I'll keep them to myself.
