Like reading a gossip magazine! Filled with fashion and relationships. Liked dynamic between Irene and Nell. Mystery took a back seat, but I was okay with that.
It went on forever; Irene not sympathetic. Poor Nell. Very unequal relationship between Irene and Nell.
I really liked it. At first I though the author was trying too hard but it really improved. Well done how it paralleled Sherlock Holmes.
I don’t like it when authors take other author’s characters. And I didn’t like Irene or Nell.
Very disappointed. Title implies a lot more than you get. Nell was much more interesting than Irene. Very little mystery. Not enough in it to really relate to Scandal in Bohemia at all.
Way too long. Not even a mystery.
I couldn’t stand Nell. Such a prude. Title VERY misleading.
I’m not a Sherlock fan so pastiches don’t bother me. But I did not like Nell at all–so prim and proper it was hard to by sympathetic at all. Never was clear to me why Irene took her in. It was way too long for no good reason. Not a mystery. Boring.
I really did not care for it at all.
Not a murder mystery, just a “problem-solving” book.
I did like how it is about Scandal in Bohemia but I agree the title is misleading.
Not a great sense of time or place.
Author tried too hard to use the vernacular of the times. But I did like the spin off of the Holmes story.
I really liked it; I liked the female detective and sick kick. Loved that the author brought in other people of the times.
