Readers will love spending time with this investigatory duo.”—Library Journal“Readers will be eager for a sequel” —Publishers Weekly“A well-written drama that had me immediately immersed in all aspects of this wickedly solid storyline that kept me intrigued throughout.” —Dru’s Book Musing“Wild applause for this clever and original take on Holmes and Watson–with lead characters who are iconic and relatable from page one.” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author“I can’t stop recommending this book to my friends!
