The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes

This book wasn't for me. In the author bio at the end of the book, it mentions that the book is a medical thriller, which I totally agree with. Medical thrillers are not my jam–I like Holmes adaptations that are historical or fantastical mysteries. There is a difference!!

[slight spoiler ahead]

In this book, the tension wasn't “who did it?”, the tension was “how do we catch him.” There was also waaay more detail about the dead bodies than I am used to. xD The narrative was very fact-based, which works for a Holmes adaptation, but I found myself missing the bigger picture sometimes.

In the end, I gave it four stars because I think this is probably a good example of a medical thriller. The plot holds together and the premise is clever, and I'm sure some folks like all those gory details. :) I won't continue with the series, but that's just me – that's what I get for trying out a random book with Holmes in the title. ;)
