I still like Mycroft and Sherlock best of the three, but I did like this one better than Mycroft Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes decides he's done with school because he'd rather track down a serial killer. He leaves his university and, with a little aid from his brother, sets off on his first manhunt.
Meanwhile, Mycroft is trying to find the missing fiance of the girl Mycroft fell in love with in a previous book. The two cases are tangentially related, but not tied together in an all-too-neat knot by the end, and I appreciated that.
I'm really hoping this series continues, because I'm enjoying it so much!
If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG-13 for murder, suicide, violence, kidnapping, and so on. Once again, no cussing or smut. Remarkably clean for a modern murder mystery!
Been enjoying your reviews of this series! It's been ages since I read any SH pastiche; I might have to give this a try. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marian! They're better than most of the SH pastiches I've read -- some of the few that I feel like owning!
DeleteThese sound so good!
ReplyDeleteSkye, they're very fun, and well-written too!
