See allIt means something I think. It was a great read and the pages flew by with each overturn of what we readers can think & accept in society through the pain & wonder via these lost souls of a cast, but I could not tell you what I picked up. 4/5 but I don't think I can recommend it to just anyone.
The OG. The GOAT. It takes the reader on a cab through Victorian Britain in the simple yet loveable character of Dr. Watson. Thus, it reads like a true memoir of an his friend; an eccentric detective, who we experience as a man full of quirks & flaws yet knows his niche. With its' stories of crime & mystery, we see the brilliance of Detective Holmes unravel the patterns that seem so simple once revealed. Of course, some sections are better than others, yet the peculiarity of their work on 221B Baker Street is continuously felt.
Incredibly boring and you realize it's J.K. Rowling when she gets racist pretty early on.

Actually a really good mystery-detective book with wonderful revelations, tense action, horrifying yet realistic villain, and an interesting way of keeping the pace that the previous books of the trilogy lack. Minus points because its held back by a confusing and unneeded section where J.K. Rowling is trying too hard to be transphobic in a sideways manner. The ending is also a bit open with Robin & Strike's relationship but I don't mind.
